Describe metadata about a SQL statement

To get descriptions of metadata for a SQL statement, use the aws redshift-data describe-statement Amazon CLI command. Authorization to run this command is based on the caller's IAM permissions.

The following Amazon CLI command describes a SQL statement. 


aws redshift-data describe-statement 
    --id d9b6c0c9-0747-4bf4-b142-e8883122f766

The following is an example of the response.

    "ClusterIdentifier": "mycluster-test",
    "CreatedAt": 1598306924.632,
    "Duration": 1095981511,
    "Id": "d9b6c0c9-0747-4bf4-b142-e8883122f766",
