get-tables

Description

Retrieves the definitions of some or all of the tables in a given Database .

See also: AWS API Documentation

get-tables is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate argument. When using --output text and the --query argument on a paginated response, the --query argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: TableList

Options

--catalog-id (string)

The ID of the Data Catalog where the tables reside. If none is provided, the Amazon Web Services account ID is used by default.

--database-name (string)

The database in the catalog whose tables to list. For Hive compatibility, this name is entirely lowercase.

--expression (string)

A regular expression pattern. If present, only those tables whose names match the pattern are returned.

--transaction-id (string)

The transaction ID at which to read the table contents.

--query-as-of-time (timestamp)

The time as of when to read the table contents. If not set, the most recent transaction commit time will be used. Cannot be specified along with TransactionId .

--include-status-details | --no-include-status-details (boolean)

Specifies whether to include status details related to a request to create or update an Glue Data Catalog view.

--attributes-to-get (list)

Specifies the table fields returned by the GetTables call. This parameter doesn’t accept an empty list. The request must include NAME .

The following are the valid combinations of values:

  • NAME - Names of all tables in the database.
  • NAME , TABLE_TYPE - Names of all tables and the table types.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

Where valid values are:
  NAME
  TABLE_TYPE

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command's output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command's output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command's output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

ViewExpandedText -> (string)

Included for Apache Hive compatibility. Not used in the normal course of Glue operations.

TableType -> (string)

The type of this table. Glue will create tables with the EXTERNAL_TABLE type. Other services, such as Athena, may create tables with additional table types.

Glue related table types:

EXTERNAL_TABLE

Hive compatible attribute - indicates a non-Hive managed table.

GOVERNED

Used by Lake Formation. The Glue Data Catalog understands GOVERNED .

Parameters -> (map)

These key-value pairs define properties associated with the table.

CatalogId -> (string)

The ID of the Data Catalog in which the table resides.

DatabaseName -> (string)

The name of the catalog database that contains the target table.

Name -> (string)

The name of the target table.

Region -> (string)

The ID of the Data Catalog in which the table resides.

VersionId -> (string)

The ID of the table version.

FederatedTable -> (structure)

A FederatedTable structure that references an entity outside the Glue Data Catalog.

Identifier -> (string)

A unique identifier for the federated table.

DatabaseIdentifier -> (string)

A unique identifier for the federated database.

ConnectionName -> (string)

The name of the connection to the external metastore.

ViewDefinition -> (structure)

A structure that contains all the information that defines the view, including the dialect or dialects for the view, and the query.

IsProtected -> (boolean)

You can set this flag as true to instruct the engine not to push user-provided operations into the logical plan of the view during query planning. However, setting this flag does not guarantee that the engine will comply. Refer to the engine's documentation to understand the guarantees provided, if any.

Definer -> (string)

The definer of a view in SQL.

SubObjects -> (list)

A list of table Amazon Resource Names (ARNs).

(string)

A list of representations.

(structure)

A structure that contains the dialect of the view, and the query that defines the view.

Dialect -> (string)

The dialect of the query engine.

DialectVersion -> (string)

The version of the dialect of the query engine. For example, 3.0.0.

ViewOriginalText -> (string)

The SELECT query provided by the customer during CREATE VIEW DDL . This SQL is not used during a query on a view (ViewExpandedText is used instead). ViewOriginalText is used for cases like SHOW CREATE VIEW where users want to see the original DDL command that created the view.

ViewExpandedText -> (string)

The expanded SQL for the view. This SQL is used by engines while processing a query on a view. Engines may perform operations during view creation to transform ViewOriginalText to ViewExpandedText . For example:

  • Fully qualified identifiers: SELECT * from table1 -> SELECT * from db1.table1

ValidationConnection -> (string)

The name of the connection to be used to validate the specific representation of the view.

IsStale -> (boolean)

Dialects marked as stale are no longer valid and must be updated before they can be queried in their respective query engines.

IsMultiDialectView -> (boolean)

Specifies whether the view supports the SQL dialects of one or more different query engines and can therefore be read by those engines.

Status -> (structure)

RequestedBy -> (string)

The ARN of the user who requested the asynchronous change.

UpdatedBy -> (string)

The ARN of the user to last manually alter the asynchronous change (requesting cancellation, etc).

RequestTime -> (timestamp)

An ISO 8601 formatted date string indicating the time that the change was initiated.

UpdateTime -> (timestamp)

An ISO 8601 formatted date string indicating the time that the state was last updated.
