|`if_not_exists` | `BOOLEAN` | `FALSE` | ✖ | Set to `TRUE` to print a warning if `relation` is already a hypertable. By default, an exception is raised. |

|`migrate_data`| `BOOLEAN` | `FALSE` | ✖ | Set to `TRUE` to migrate any existing data in `relation` in to chunks in the new hypertable. Depending on the amount of data to be migrated, setting `migrate_data` can lock the table for a significant amount of time. If there are [foreign key constraints][foreign-key-constraings] to other tables in the data to be migrated, `create_hypertable()` can run into deadlock. A hypertable can only contain foreign keys to another hypertable. `UNIQUE` and `PRIMARY` constraints must include the partitioning key. <br></br> Deadlock may happen when concurrent transactions simultaneously try to insert data into tables that are referenced in the foreign key constraints, and into the converting table itself. To avoid deadlock, manually obtain a [SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE][share-row-exclusive] lock on the referenced tables before you call `create_hypertable` in the same transaction. <br></br> If you leave `migrate_data` set to the default, non-empty tables generate an error when you call `create_hypertable`. |
