createTable(object, id, length, generateids=F, type="event")

Arguments

`object`	Object of aRTlayer or aRTdb class.
`tablename`	Name of the table.
`id`	The name of the unique identifier of the table (default = "id").
`length`	The maximum length of id instances.

Details

TerraLib uses some tables in the database, and then you cannot create tables with these names. Names as “Points...”, “Polygons...”, (other geometries), “tempTable” and “te_...” are reserved. Note that names with non letters characters are also prohibited.
