CreateNamedQuery - Amazon Athena
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

CreateNamedQuery

Creates a named query in the specified workgroup. Requires that you have access to the workgroup.

Request Syntax

{ "ClientRequestToken": "string", "Database": "string", "Description": "string", "Name": "string", "QueryString": "string", "WorkGroup": "string" }

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

ClientRequestToken

A unique case-sensitive string used to ensure the request to create the query is idempotent (executes only once). If another CreateNamedQuery 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.

Important

This token is listed as not required because Amazon SDKs (for example the Amazon SDK for Java) auto-generate the token for users. If you are not using the Amazon SDK or the Amazon CLI, you must provide this token or the action will fail.
