# Create (beta)

> Create a new Dune table with the specified name and namespace.

<Warning>
  This endpoint is currently in beta, and may change without warning.
</Warning>

The resulting table will be empty, and can be inserted into with the [/insert endpoint](./insert).

<Note>
  * A table must currently be created as public. If the request tries to create a private table, it will fail.
  * If a table already exists with the same name, the request will fail.
  * Column names in the table can't start with a special character or a digit.
  * To delete a table, you must go to `user settings (dune.com) -> data -> delete`.
  * Creating a table does not incur credits.
</Note>
