Searches a set of tables based on properties in the table metadata as well as on the parent database. You can search against text or filter conditions.
You can only get tables that you have access to based on the security policies defined in Lake Formation. You need at least a read-only access to the table for it to be returned. If you do not have access to all the columns in the table, these columns will not be searched against when returning the list of tables back to you. If you have access to the columns but not the data in the columns, those columns and the associated metadata for those columns will be included in the search.

A unique identifier, consisting of ``account_id ``.
string
A continuation token, included if this is a continuation call.
list
A list of key-value pairs, and a comparator used to filter the search results. Returns all entities matching the predicate.
The Comparator member of the PropertyPredicate struct is used only for time fields, and can be omitted for other field types. Also, when comparing string values, such as when Key=Name, a fuzzy match algorithm is used. The Key field (for example, the value of the Name field) is split on certain punctuation characters, for example, -, :, #, etc. into tokens. Then each token is exact-match compared with the Value member of PropertyPredicate. For example, if Key=Name and Value=link, tables named customer-link and xx-link-yy are returned, but xxlinkyy is not returned.
(dict) --
Defines a property predicate.
Key (string) --
The key of the property.
Value (string) --
The value of the property.
Comparator (string) --
The comparator used to compare this property to others.
string
A string used for a text search.
Specifying a value in quotes filters based on an exact match to the value.
list
A list of criteria for sorting the results by a field name, in an ascending or descending order.
(dict) --
Specifies a field to sort by and a sort order.
FieldName (string) --
The name of the field on which to sort.
Sort (string) --
An ascending or descending sort.
integer
The maximum number of tables to return in a single response.
string
Allows you to specify that you want to search the tables shared with your account. The allowable values are FOREIGN or ALL.
If set to FOREIGN, will search the tables shared with your account.
If set to ALL, will search the tables shared with your account, as well as the tables in yor local account.

string
The ID of the Data Catalog where the table resides. If none is provided, the Amazon Web Services account ID is used by default.
string
[REQUIRED]
The name of the catalog database in which the table resides. For Hive compatibility, this name is entirely lowercase.
dict
[REQUIRED]
An updated TableInput object to define the metadata table in the catalog.
Name (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The table name. For Hive compatibility, this is folded to lowercase when it is stored.
Description (string) --
A description of the table.
Owner (string) --
The table owner.
LastAccessTime (datetime) --
The last time that the table was accessed.
LastAnalyzedTime (datetime) --
The last time that column statistics were computed for this table.
Retention (integer) --
The retention time for this table.
StorageDescriptor (dict) --
A storage descriptor containing information about the physical storage of this table.
Columns (list) --
A list of the Columns in the table.
(dict) --
A column in a Table.
Name (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The name of the Column.
Type (string) --
The data type of the Column.
Comment (string) --
A free-form text comment.
Parameters (dict) --
These key-value pairs define properties associated with the column.
(string) --
(string) --
Location (string) --
The physical location of the table. By default, this takes the form of the warehouse location, followed by the database location in the warehouse, followed by the table name.
AdditionalLocations (list) --
(string) --
InputFormat (string) --
The input format: SequenceFileInputFormat (binary), or TextInputFormat, or a custom format.
OutputFormat (string) --
The output format: SequenceFileOutputFormat (binary), or IgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat, or a custom format.
Compressed (boolean) --
True if the data in the table is compressed, or False if not.
NumberOfBuckets (integer) --
Must be specified if the table contains any dimension columns.
SerdeInfo (dict) --
The serialization/deserialization (SerDe) information.
Name (string) --
Name of the SerDe.
SerializationLibrary (string) --
Usually the class that implements the SerDe. An example is org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.columnar.ColumnarSerDe.
Parameters (dict) --
These key-value pairs define initialization parameters for the SerDe.
(string) --
(string) --
BucketColumns (list) --
A list of reducer grouping columns, clustering columns, and bucketing columns in the table.
(string) --
SortColumns (list) --
A list specifying the sort order of each bucket in the table.
(dict) --
Specifies the sort order of a sorted column.
Column (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The name of the column.
SortOrder (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
Indicates that the column is sorted in ascending order ( == 1), or in descending order ( ==0).
Parameters (dict) --
The user-supplied properties in key-value form.
(string) --
(string) --
SkewedInfo (dict) --
The information about values that appear frequently in a column (skewed values).
SkewedColumnNames (list) --
A list of names of columns that contain skewed values.
(string) --
SkewedColumnValues (list) --
A list of values that appear so frequently as to be considered skewed.
(string) --
SkewedColumnValueLocationMaps (dict) --
A mapping of skewed values to the columns that contain them.
(string) --
(string) --
StoredAsSubDirectories (boolean) --
True if the table data is stored in subdirectories, or False if not.
SchemaReference (dict) --
An object that references a schema stored in the Glue Schema Registry.
When creating a table, you can pass an empty list of columns for the schema, and instead use a schema reference.
SchemaId (dict) --
A structure that contains schema identity fields. Either this or the SchemaVersionId has to be provided.
SchemaArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the schema. One of SchemaArn or SchemaName has to be provided.
