# CORE_TABLES_NOT_CREATED

The command could not create the core tables on a database that has none.

## Cause

The command could not create the core tables on a database that has none.

On a database with no core tables, the sync creates them with a schema push. On PostgreSQL and MySQL a failed push is not retried another way, so the command stops. The Why line holds the push's error.

## Fix

* Run `nextly migrate` to create the database schema, then run the command again.
* If the error names a permission, give the database user the right to create tables in its schema.

## Example

```text
✗ Core tables not found, and they could not be created.
  Why:  The schema push that creates them failed: permission denied for schema "public"
  Next: Run `nextly migrate` first to create the database schema.
