/AWS1/CL_RSD=>LISTTABLES()

About ListTables

List the tables in a database. If neither SchemaPattern nor TablePattern are specified, then all tables in the database are returned. A token is returned to page through the table list. Depending on the authorization method, use one of the following combinations of request parameters:

  • Secrets Manager - when connecting to a cluster, provide the secret-arn of a secret stored in Secrets Manager which has username and password. The specified secret contains credentials to connect to the database you specify. When you are connecting to a cluster, you also supply the database name, If you provide a cluster identifier (dbClusterIdentifier), it must match the cluster identifier stored in the secret. When you are connecting to a serverless workgroup, you also supply the database name.

  • Temporary credentials - when connecting to your data warehouse, choose one of the following options:

    • When connecting to a serverless workgroup, specify the workgroup name and database name. The database user name is derived from the IAM identity. For example, arn:iam::123456789012:user:foo has the database user name IAM:foo. Also, permission to call the redshift-serverless:GetCredentials operation is required.

    • When connecting to a cluster as an IAM identity, specify the cluster identifier and the database name. The database user name is derived from the IAM identity. For example, arn:iam::123456789012:user:foo has the database user name IAM:foo. Also, permission to call the redshift:GetClusterCredentialsWithIAM operation is required.

    • When connecting to a cluster as a database user, specify the cluster identifier, the database name, and the database user name. Also, permission to call the redshift:GetClusterCredentials operation is required.

Method Signature

IMPORTING

Required arguments:

IV_DATABASE TYPE /AWS1/RSDSTRING /AWS1/RSDSTRING

The name of the database that contains the tables to list. If ConnectedDatabase is not specified, this is also the database to connect to with your authentication credentials.

Optional arguments:

IV_CLUSTERIDENTIFIER TYPE /AWS1/RSDLOCATION /AWS1/RSDLOCATION

The cluster identifier. This parameter is required when connecting to a cluster and authenticating using either Secrets Manager or temporary credentials.

IV_SECRETARN TYPE /AWS1/RSDSECRETARN /AWS1/RSDSECRETARN

The name or ARN of the secret that enables access to the database. This parameter is required when authenticating using Secrets Manager.

IV_DBUSER TYPE /AWS1/RSDSTRING /AWS1/RSDSTRING

The database user name. This parameter is required when connecting to a cluster as a database user and authenticating using temporary credentials.

IV_CONNECTEDDATABASE TYPE /AWS1/RSDSTRING /AWS1/RSDSTRING

A database name. The connected database is specified when you connect with your authentication credentials.

IV_SCHEMAPATTERN TYPE /AWS1/RSDSTRING /AWS1/RSDSTRING

A pattern to filter results by schema name. Within a schema pattern, "%" means match any substring of 0 or more characters and "_" means match any one character. Only schema name entries matching the search pattern are returned. If SchemaPattern is not specified, then all tables that match TablePattern are returned. If neither SchemaPattern or TablePattern are specified, then all tables are returned.

IV_TABLEPATTERN TYPE /AWS1/RSDSTRING /AWS1/RSDSTRING

A pattern to filter results by table name. Within a table pattern, "%" means match any substring of 0 or more characters and "_" means match any one character. Only table name entries matching the search pattern are returned. If TablePattern is not specified, then all tables that match SchemaPatternare returned.
If neither SchemaPattern or TablePattern are specified, then all tables are returned.

IV_NEXTTOKEN TYPE /AWS1/RSDSTRING /AWS1/RSDSTRING

A value that indicates the starting point for the next set of response records in a subsequent request. If a value is returned in a response, you can retrieve the next set of records by providing this returned NextToken value in the next NextToken parameter and retrying the command. If the NextToken field is empty, all response records have been retrieved for the request.

IV_MAXRESULTS TYPE /AWS1/RSDPAGESIZE /AWS1/RSDPAGESIZE

The maximum number of tables to return in the response. If more tables exist than fit in one response, then NextToken is returned to page through the results.

IV_WORKGROUPNAME TYPE /AWS1/RSDWORKGROUPNAMESTRING /AWS1/RSDWORKGROUPNAMESTRING

The serverless workgroup name or Amazon Resource Name (ARN). This parameter is required when connecting to a serverless workgroup and authenticating using either Secrets Manager or temporary credentials.
