# Create

Launch stage: Beta

`POST /api/2.0/postgres/{parent=projects/*/branches/*/databases/*}/cdf-configs`

Create a CDF configuration that materializes the change data feed for all
 tables in a Postgres schema as open-format Delta tables in Unity Catalog.
 Once created, each table's change history is continuously written to its
 corresponding Lakehouse table.

API scopes: postgres

## Path parameters

- `parent` (string, optional)
  The parent database under which to create the CdfConfig.
   Format: projects/{project}/branches/{branch}/databases/{database}

## Query parameters

- `cdf_config_id` (string, optional)
  The user-specified id for the CdfConfig, forming the final segment of its
   resource name. Must match the pattern `[a-z][a-z0-9_]{0,62}`. Defaults to
   the Postgres schema name when omitted.

## Request body

- `cdf_config` (object, optional)
  The CdfConfig to create. The catalog, schema, and postgres_schema fields are
   required; all other fields are output only and ignored on input.
  - `name` (string, optional)
    Output only. The full resource name of the CdfConfig.
     Format: projects/{project}/branches/{branch}/databases/{database}/cdf-configs/{cdf_config}
  - `catalog` (string, optional)
    The Unity Catalog catalog that replicated tables are written into.
     Set at creation; the CdfConfig is immutable.
  - `schema` (string, optional)
    The Unity Catalog schema that replicated tables are written into.
     Set at creation; the CdfConfig is immutable.
  - `create_time` (string, optional)
    When the CdfConfig was created.
  - `cdf_config_id` (string, optional)
    The user-specified id; equals the final segment of `name`. Defaults to the
     Postgres schema name for configs without an explicit id.
  - `postgres_schema` (string, optional)
    The Postgres schema this CdfConfig replicates from. Unique within the
     parent database. Set at creation; the CdfConfig is immutable.

## Returns

- `name` (string, optional)
  The server-assigned name, which is only unique within the same service that
   originally returns it. If you use the default HTTP mapping, the
   `name` should be a resource name ending with `operations/{unique_id}`.
- `metadata` (object, optional)
  Service-specific metadata associated with the operation.  It typically
   contains progress information and common metadata such as create time.
   Some services might not provide such metadata.
- `done` (boolean, optional)
  If the value is `false`, it means the operation is still in progress.
   If `true`, the operation is completed, and either `error` or `response` is
   available.
- `error` (object, required)
  The error result of the operation in case of failure or cancellation.
  - `error_code` (string, optional)
    Possible values: `UNKNOWN`, `INTERNAL_ERROR`, `TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE`, `IO_ERROR`, `BAD_REQUEST`, `SERVICE_UNDER_MAINTENANCE`, `WORKSPACE_TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE`, `DEADLINE_EXCEEDED`, `CANCELLED`, `RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED`, `ABORTED`, `NOT_FOUND`, `ALREADY_EXISTS`, `UNAUTHENTICATED`, `UNAVAILABLE`, `INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE`, `ENDPOINT_NOT_FOUND`, `MALFORMED_REQUEST`, `INVALID_STATE`, `PERMISSION_DENIED`, `FEATURE_DISABLED`, `CUSTOMER_UNAUTHORIZED`, `REQUEST_LIMIT_EXCEEDED`, `RESOURCE_CONFLICT`, `UNPARSEABLE_HTTP_ERROR`, `NOT_IMPLEMENTED`, `DATA_LOSS`, `INVALID_STATE_TRANSITION`, `COULD_NOT_ACQUIRE_LOCK`, `RESOURCE_ALREADY_EXISTS`, `RESOURCE_DOES_NOT_EXIST`, `QUOTA_EXCEEDED`, `MAX_BLOCK_SIZE_EXCEEDED`, `MAX_READ_SIZE_EXCEEDED`, `PARTIAL_DELETE`, `MAX_LIST_SIZE_EXCEEDED`, `DRY_RUN_FAILED`, `RESOURCE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED`, `DIRECTORY_NOT_EMPTY`, `DIRECTORY_PROTECTED`, `MAX_NOTEBOOK_SIZE_EXCEEDED`, `MAX_CHILD_NODE_SIZE_EXCEEDED`, `SEARCH_QUERY_TOO_LONG`, `SEARCH_QUERY_TOO_SHORT`, `MANAGED_RESOURCE_GROUP_DOES_NOT_EXIST`, `PERMISSION_NOT_PROPAGATED`, `DEPLOYMENT_TIMEOUT`, `GIT_CONFLICT`, `GIT_UNKNOWN_REF`, `GIT_SENSITIVE_TOKEN_DETECTED`, `GIT_URL_NOT_ON_ALLOW_LIST`, `GIT_REMOTE_ERROR`, `PROJECTS_OPERATION_TIMEOUT`, `IPYNB_FILE_IN_REPO`, `INSECURE_PARTNER_RESPONSE`, `MALFORMED_PARTNER_RESPONSE`, `METASTORE_DOES_NOT_EXIST`, `DAC_DOES_NOT_EXIST`, `CATALOG_DOES_NOT_EXIST`, `SCHEMA_DOES_NOT_EXIST`, `TABLE_DOES_NOT_EXIST`, `SHARE_DOES_NOT_EXIST`, `RECIPIENT_DOES_NOT_EXIST`, `STORAGE_CREDENTIAL_DOES_NOT_EXIST`, `EXTERNAL_LOCATION_DOES_NOT_EXIST`, `PRINCIPAL_DOES_NOT_EXIST`, `PROVIDER_DOES_NOT_EXIST`, `METASTORE_ALREADY_EXISTS`, `DAC_ALREADY_EXISTS`, `CATALOG_ALREADY_EXISTS`, `SCHEMA_ALREADY_EXISTS`, `TABLE_ALREADY_EXISTS`, `SHARE_ALREADY_EXISTS`, `RECIPIENT_ALREADY_EXISTS`, `STORAGE_CREDENTIAL_ALREADY_EXISTS`, `EXTERNAL_LOCATION_ALREADY_EXISTS`, `PROVIDER_ALREADY_EXISTS`, `CATALOG_NOT_EMPTY`, `SCHEMA_NOT_EMPTY`, `METASTORE_NOT_EMPTY`, `PROVIDER_SHARE_NOT_ACCESSIBLE`

  - `details` (array of object, optional)
- `response` (object, required)
  The normal, successful response of the operation.
