Inserting data


Before inserting documents into the database, we must create a table to hold our data. We can do this using the tableCreate() command that takes the table name as an argument. Let's create a table called people by running the following query:

r.db('test').tableCreate('people')

This query assumes you have a database called test and creates the people table within this database. If the query is successful, you will get an output similar to this:

{
  "config_changes":[
    {
      "new_val":{
        "db":"test",
        "durability":"hard",
        "id":"a29447ca-1587-4b8c-86db-a7b3d5198519",
        "name":"people",
        "primary_key":"id",
        "shards":[
          {
            "primary_replica":"rethinkdb1",
            "replicas":[
              "rethinkdb1"
            ]
          }
        ],
        "write_acks":"majority"
      },
      "old_val":null
    }
  ],
  "tables_created":1
}

This is a great deal of information! If you look closely at the output, you can...
