Is it possible to initialize an empty JuliaDB table with columns names?

Yes, it is possible.  
This is the source where you can learn it from direct experience ([JuliaDB.jl/basics.md at master · JuliaData/JuliaDB.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaComputing/JuliaDB.jl/blob/master/docs/src/basics.md)) and this is an example of code to instantiate it, once you already added the package:

```julia
using	JuliaDB
dblog =	table((ObjectID=Int[], Iteration=Int[], Events=[], States=Matrix{Float64}[]); pkey = [:ObjectID, :Iter])

```

The code it’s just an example, and you should be able to replicate it. In this case, it’s an IndexedTable with 2 primary keys, specified by the ‘pkey’ attribute.  
Ánimo con el trabajo!
