Help with cdb_sync - What is the local table?

[stamatis]

If we pass "local" to cdb_create, the record will be stored on the device itself. If we pass "cloud", the record will be sent to our servers where it'll be stored. 

Hi @efrain.c -- just to clarify...

If i download the LiveCloud Toolkit as per normal and pass 'local' to cdb_create, it will will replicate the table structure on disk? 
I won't have to first create a table locally with cdb_createTable?

On a related note, if i do create a new local table with cdb_createTable, and use cdb_sync, will it create a new table in the cloud?

Many thanks for clarifying,
Stam
