Create standalone table in FGDB (using API)

BB1234

Is there a way to create a standalone table in a FGDB using the file geodatabase API?

If yes, does the table get automatically registered with the geodatabase? Or would we need to use the Register with Geodatabase geoprocessing tool after the fact?

Yes, I was able to create a standalone table using the FGDB API. And it turns out the table is not registered with the geodatabase. But it can be registered with the GDB after the fact using the Register with Geodatabase geoprocessing tool.

Notes:

1. I used SQL4Arc (Manifold) add-in for ArcGIS Pro to create the table. SQL4Arc uses the FGDB API:
2. I had trouble using SQL to create a table in SQL4Arc. The SQL would run without errors, but the table didn't show up in the FGDB in Catalog. So I used the UI in SQL4Arc instead to create the table. However, point #3 below might have been the culprit.
3. I initially had trouble seeing standalone tables in SQL4Arc. The solution seemed to be to add a FC to the map in ArcGIS Pro. Once there was a FC in the map, then the standalone tables showed up in SQL4Arc too.
