Create and update table definitions

This topic shows how to programmatically create a custom user-owned table called Bank Account and add four different types of columns to it.

You can also create organization-owned custom entities. More information: Table ownership

How to run this sample

See How to run samples for information about how to run this sample.

What this sample does

The CreateEntityRequest message is intended to be used in a scenario where it contains the data that is needed to create a custom table, and optionally, to add it to a specified unmanaged solution.

How this sample works

In order to simulate the scenario described in What this sample does, the sample will do the following:

Setup

Checks for the current version of the org.

Demonstrate

1. The createrequest method creates the custom table.
2. The CreateEntityRequest method is used to define the table.
3. The StringAttributeMetadata method defines the primary column of the table.
4. The CreateBankNameAttributeRequest method creates a string column to the table.
5. The CreateBalanceAttributeRequest method creates a money column to the table.
6. The CreateCheckedDateRequest method creates a DateTime column to the table.

Clean up

Display an option to delete the records created in the Setup. The deletion is optional in case you want to examine the entities and data created by the sample. You can manually delete the records to achieve the same result.
