Synopsis

Calls the Amazon Athena StartQueryExecution API operation.

Syntax

-QueryString <String>
-ClientRequestToken <String>
-QueryExecutionContext_Database <String>
-EncryptionConfiguration_EncryptionOption <EncryptionOption>
-EncryptionConfiguration_KmsKey <String>
-ResultConfiguration_OutputLocation <String>
-WorkGroup <String>
-Select <String>
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
-Force <SwitchParameter>

Description

Runs the SQL query statements contained in the Query. Requires you to have access to the workgroup in which the query ran. For code samples using the AWS SDK for Java, see Examples and Code Samples in the Amazon Athena User Guide.

Parameters

-ClientRequestToken <String>
A unique case-sensitive string used to ensure the request to create the query is idempotent (executes only once). If another StartQueryExecution request is received, the same response is returned and another query is not created. If a parameter has changed, for example, the QueryString, an error is returned.This token is listed as not required because AWS SDKs (for example the AWS SDK for Java) auto-generate the token for users. If you are not using the AWS SDK or the AWS CLI, you must provide this token or the action will fail.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-EncryptionConfiguration_EncryptionOption <EncryptionOption>
Indicates whether Amazon S3 server-side encryption with Amazon S3-managed keys (SSE-S3), server-side encryption with KMS-managed keys (SSE-KMS), or client-side encryption with KMS-managed keys (CSE-KMS) is used.If a query runs in a workgroup and the workgroup overrides client-side settings, then the workgroup's setting for encryption is used. It specifies whether query results must be encrypted, for all queries that run in this workgroup.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesResultConfiguration_EncryptionConfiguration_EncryptionOption
-EncryptionConfiguration_KmsKey <String>
For SSE-KMS and CSE-KMS, this is the KMS key ARN or ID.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesResultConfiguration_EncryptionConfiguration_KmsKey
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the QueryString parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^QueryString' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-QueryExecutionContext_Database <String>
The name of the database.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-QueryString <String>
The SQL query statements to be executed.
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ResultConfiguration_OutputLocation <String>
The location in Amazon S3 where your query results are stored, such as s3://path/to/query/bucket/. To run the query, you must specify the query results location using one of the ways: either for individual queries using either this setting (client-side), or in the workgroup, using WorkGroupConfiguration. If none of them is set, Athena issues an error that no output location is provided. For more information, see Query Results. If workgroup settings override client-side settings, then the query uses the settings specified for the workgroup. See WorkGroupConfiguration$EnforceWorkGroupConfiguration.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'QueryExecutionId'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.Athena.Model.StartQueryExecutionResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.Athena.Model.StartQueryExecutionResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-WorkGroup <String>
The name of the workgroup in which the query is being started.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Aliases AK
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
-ProfileLocation <String>

Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)

If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials. Note that the encrypted credential file is not supported on all platforms. It will be skipped when searching for profiles on Windows Nano Server, Mac, and Linux platforms.

If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.

As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.

Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Aliases AWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing credential information. The profile is expected to be found in the secure credential file shared with the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. You can also specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Aliases AWSProfileName, StoredCredentials
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
-SecretKey <String>
The AWS secret key for the user account. This can be a temporary secret key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Aliases SecretAccessKey, SK
-SessionToken <String>
The session token if the access and secret keys are temporary session-based credentials.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Aliases ST
-Region <String>
The system name of the AWS region in which the operation should be invoked. For example, us-east-1, eu-west-1 etc.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Aliases RegionToCall
-EndpointUrl <String>

The endpoint to make the call against.

Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.

Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Inputs

System.String
You can pipe a String object to this cmdlet for the QueryString parameter.

Outputs

System.String or Amazon.Athena.Model.StartQueryExecutionResponse
This cmdlet returns a System.String object. The service call response (type Amazon.Athena.Model.StartQueryExecutionResponse) can also be referenced from properties attached to the cmdlet entry in the $AWSHistory stack.
