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...
