Workaround
Notes
It is possible to create a table via the Connect for JDBC MongoDB driver by using a SELECT INTO statement.

To create a table without using a SELECT INTO clause, an INSERT statement must be executed outside of the Connect for JDBC MongoDB driver.  
A tool such as the Mongo command-line tool is ideal.

Please refer to the MongoDB documentation for details regarding how the INSERT statement is used for creating tables.
