Create a new table programmatically?

If I'm trying to use a backend mutation using insert to create a new table, the insert function only appears to be able to accept table names that already exist, so it doesn't appear I can create a new table that way. Also, I know when I define a table in the schema.ts file and save the file, a new table is created in the database, so perhaps somehow working with the schema.ts file is the way to add new tables programmatically. Is this a method worth pursuing or is there another way that's better? Or is creating a new table programmatically just not possible? In other words, do all new tables have to be created manually? Thanks for any help someone may be able to provide.

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
