r.tableCreate() not defined in JS

[neumino]

So r.table('table_name') is a shortcut for r.db('test').table('table_name')
However, r.tableCreate('new_table') doesn't work in javascript (at least).

Can we have all methods after db() to work after r. by using the default database 'test'?
In that case, in the data explorer, I can suggest users r.table(), r.tableCreate(), r.tableDrop(), r.tableList() etc...

It makes sense to me to be able to support tableCreate and friends on the default db on the connection. BTW, eventually we'll add a dropdown to the data explorer that will denote the default database to run ops on. Moving to backlog though, because there are more important things to work out for now.

This is in code-review 476 by @Tryneus .

The code-review includes the server changes and updates to the ruby tests. @wmrowan -- when you have some time, could you update the python/js drivers/tests in the branch 46_bare_tablecreate?

[coffeemug]

@mlucy, @wmrowan -- what's the state of this change? I know it isn't slated, but man would it make my life easier! (also, it would need YAML docs)

[mlucy]

The server change and ruby driver implementation are done. If Bill has time this could make 1.5 pretty easily.

Is the short version for table_list included? I don't see such a change in 46_bare_tablecreate . Am I just looking at the wrong place?
(it also doesn't seem to update the descriptions in the ql2.proto file)

[mlucy]

Whoops, yeah, missed that entirely. I'll add that tomorrow.

[mlucy]

(I'll update the ql2.proto file too.)

[danielmewes]

Cool, thanks.

[mlucy]

table_list and updates to the .proto file are in the code-review

[wmrowan]

@mlucy The JS and PY implementations have been pushed to branch 46_bare_tablecreate.

[mlucy]

@wmrowan: Awesome. I updated the code-review; this should be in next soon.

[mlucy]

This is now in next.
