Question

I’m using the Schema API to create tables for my module on Drupa 6.17, but the tables just do not get created in the database. I have the Schema module installed, and it tells me that while the schema for my module is recognized, its table is not in the database. It comes up under Missing:

Tables in the schema that are not present in the database.
test
* test_table

Here are the contents for my test.install file.

<?php
// $Id$
function test_schema() {
$schema['test_table'] = array(
    'description' => t('Test table'),
    'fields' => array(
        'nid' => array(
            'description' => t('test field'),
            'type' => 'serial',
            'not null' => TRUE,
        ),
        'options' => array(
            'description' => t('other test field'),
            'type' => 'text',
            'not null' => FALSE,
        ),
    ),
    'primary key' => array('nid'),
    );
    return $schema;
}
function test_install() {
    drupal_install_schema('test');
}
function test_uninstall() {
    drupal_uninstall_schema('test');
}

Edit:

Here is code I just wrote that works. Follow as example:

/**
 * Implementation of hook_schema().
 */

function action_alert_schema() {
 $schema['action_alert'] = array(
    'description' => 'Action Alert table.',
    'fields' => array(
   'aid' => array(
        'description' => 'The serial ID.',
        'type' => 'serial',
        'unsigned' => TRUE,
        'not null' => TRUE,
   ),
      'nid' => array(
        'description' => 'The primary identifier of the node.',
        'type' => 'int',
        'unsigned' => TRUE,
        'not null' => TRUE,
        'default' => 0,
   ),
      'uuid' => array(
        'description' => 'The session id of the user if the UID is not present.',
        'type' => 'varchar',
        'length' => 255,
        'not null' => TRUE,
        'default' => '0',
      ),
   ),
    'primary key' => array('aid'),
  );

return $schema;

}

/**
 * Implementation of hook_install().
 */
function action_alert_install() {
  drupal_install_schema('action_alert');
}

/**
 * Implementation of hook_uninstall().
 */
function action_alert_uninstall() {
 drupal_uninstall_schema('action_alert');
}
