Can I dynamically create tables?

Hi,
I was wondering if I can dynamically define tables.
So something like this:

local theName = {“tableName1”, “tableName2”}
local theName[1] = {}

Then having not only the initial table called ‘theName’ but also a table called ‘tableName1’.

On the Net I found some references to:

local _G[‘theName[1]’] = {}

but that doesn’t seem to work with the Corona SDK.

Thanks!
