I thought it would be easy but…
```julia
julia> df = DataFrame(x = [1,2,3], y = [4,5,6])
3×2 DataFrames.DataFrame
│ Row │ x │ y │
├─────┼───┼───┤
│ 1 │ 1 │ 4 │
│ 2 │ 2 │ 5 │
│ 3 │ 3 │ 6 │
julia> t = table(df)
ERROR: ArgumentError: iter cannot be turned into a NextTable.
Stacktrace:

I can work around with the following. It looks like a bug with JuliaDB and I will submit an issue as such.
```julia
julia> table([df[c] for c in names(df)]...; names = names(df))
Table with 3 rows, 2 columns:
x y
────
1 4
2 5
3 6
```

To convert, you need to load `using IterableTables`
```julia
julia> using IterableTables
julia> table(df)
Table with 3 rows, 2 columns:
x y
────
1 4
2 5
3 6
```
