List schemas in a database - Amazon Redshift

Amazon Redshift will no longer support the use of Python UDFs after June 30, 2026. We will start enforcing it in phases. For more information on the details of Python end of life and migration options, see the blog post that was published on June 30, 2025.

List schemas in a database

To list the schemas in a database, use the aws redshift-data list-schemas AWS CLI command.

The following AWS CLI command runs a SQL statement against a cluster to list schemas in a database. This example uses the AWS Secrets Manager authentication method.


aws redshift-data list-schemas 
    --secret-arn arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-2:123456789012:secret:myuser-secret-hKgPWn 
    --cluster-identifier mycluster-test 
    --database dev

The following is an example of the response.

{
    "Schemas": [
        "information_schema",
        "pg_catalog",
        "pg_internal",
        "public"
    ]
}
