            A unique identifier for the federated database.

          • ConnectionName (string) --

            The name of the connection to the external metastore.

            The type of connection used to access the federated table, specifying the protocol or method for connecting to the external data source.

        • ViewDefinition (dict) --

          A structure that contains all the information that defines the view, including the dialect or dialects for the view, and the query.

          • IsProtected (boolean) --

            You can set this flag as true to instruct the engine not to push user-provided operations into the logical plan of the view during query planning. However, setting this flag does not guarantee that the engine will comply. Refer to the engine's documentation to understand the guarantees provided, if any.

          • Definer (string) --

            The definer of a view in SQL.

          • SubObjects (list) --

            A list of table Amazon Resource Names (ARNs).

            • (string) --

          • Representations (list) --

            A list of representations.

                The dialect of the query engine.

              • DialectVersion (string) --

                The version of the dialect of the query engine. For example, 3.0.0.

              • ViewOriginalText (string) --

                The SELECT query provided by the customer during CREATE VIEW DDL. This SQL is not used during a query on a view ( ViewExpandedText is used instead). ViewOriginalText is used for cases like SHOW CREATE VIEW where users want to see the original DDL command that created the view.

              • ViewExpandedText (string) --

                The expanded SQL for the view. This SQL is used by engines while processing a query on a view. Engines may perform operations during view creation to transform ViewOriginalText to ViewExpandedText. For example:

                • Fully qualified identifiers: SELECT * from table1 -> SELECT * from db1.table1

              • ValidationConnection (string) --

                The name of the connection to be used to validate the specific representation of the view.

              • IsStale (boolean) --

                Dialects marked as stale are no longer valid and must be updated before they can be queried in their respective query engines.

        • IsMultiDialectView (boolean) --

          Specifies whether the view supports the SQL dialects of one or more different query engines and can therefore be read by those engines.

        • Status (dict) --

          A structure containing information about the state of an asynchronous change to a table.

          • RequestedBy (string) --

            The ARN of the user who requested the asynchronous change.

          • UpdatedBy (string) --

            The ARN of the user to last manually alter the asynchronous change (requesting cancellation, etc).

          • RequestTime (datetime) --

            An ISO 8601 formatted date string indicating the time that the change was initiated.

          • UpdateTime (datetime) --

            An ISO 8601 formatted date string indicating the time that the state was last updated.

          • Action (string) --

            Indicates which action was called on the table, currently only CREATE or UPDATE.

          • State (string) --

            • ViewValidations (list) --

              A list of ViewValidation objects that contain information for an analytical engine to validate a view.

              • (dict) --

                A structure that contains information for an analytical engine to validate a view, prior to persisting the view metadata. Used in the case of direct UpdateTable or CreateTable API calls.

                • Dialect (string) --

                  The dialect of the query engine.

                • DialectVersion (string) --

type Region:

string

param Region:

Specified only if the base tables belong to a different Amazon Web Services Region.

type CatalogId:

string

param CatalogId:

[REQUIRED]

The catalog ID where the table resides.

type DatabaseName:

string

param DatabaseName:

[REQUIRED]

(Required) Specifies the name of a database that contains the table.

type Name:

string

param Name:

[REQUIRED]

(Required) Specifies the name of a table for which you are requesting metadata.

type AuditContext:

dict

param AuditContext:

A structure containing Lake Formation audit context information.

  • AdditionalAuditContext (string) --

    A string containing the additional audit context information.

  • RequestedColumns (list) --

    The requested columns for audit.

    • (string) --

  • AllColumnsRequested (boolean) --

    All columns request for audit.

type SupportedPermissionTypes:

list

param SupportedPermissionTypes:

[REQUIRED]

Indicates the level of filtering a third-party analytical engine is capable of enforcing when calling the GetUnfilteredTableMetadata API operation. Accepted values are:

  • COLUMN_PERMISSION - Column permissions ensure that users can access only specific columns in the table. If there are particular columns contain sensitive data, data lake administrators can define column filters that exclude access to specific columns.

  • CELL_FILTER_PERMISSION - Cell-level filtering combines column filtering (include or exclude columns) and row filter expressions to restrict access to individual elements in the table.

  • NESTED_PERMISSION - Nested permissions combines cell-level filtering and nested column filtering to restrict access to columns and/or nested columns in specific rows based on row filter expressions.

  • NESTED_CELL_PERMISSION - Nested cell permissions combines nested permission with nested cell-level filtering. This allows different subsets of nested columns to be restricted based on an array of row filter expressions.

Note: Each of these permission types follows a hierarchical order where each subsequent permission type includes all permission of the previous type.

Important: If you provide a supported permission type that doesn't match the user's level of permissions on the table, then Lake Formation raises an exception. For example, if the third-party engine calling the GetUnfilteredTableMetadata operation can enforce only column-level filtering, and the user has nested cell filtering applied on the table, Lake Formation throws an exception, and will not return unfiltered table metadata and data access credentials.

    • IsRegisteredWithLakeFormation (boolean) --

      A Boolean value that indicates whether the partition location is registered with Lake Formation.

    • CellFilters (list) --

      A list of column row filters.

      • (dict) --

        A filter that uses both column-level and row-level filtering.

        • ColumnName (string) --

          A string containing the name of the column.

        • RowFilterExpression (string) --

          A string containing the row-level filter expression.

    • QueryAuthorizationId (string) --

      A cryptographically generated query identifier generated by Glue or Lake Formation.

    • IsMultiDialectView (boolean) --

      Specifies whether the view supports the SQL dialects of one or more different query engines and can therefore be read by those engines.

    • ResourceArn (string) --

      The resource ARN of the parent resource extracted from the request.

    • IsProtected (boolean) --

      A flag that instructs the engine not to push user-provided operations into the logical plan of the view during query planning. However, if set this flag does not guarantee that the engine will comply. Refer to the engine's documentation to understand the guarantees provided, if any.

    • Permissions (list) --

      The Lake Formation data permissions of the caller on the table. Used to authorize the call when no view context is found.

      • (string) --

    • RowFilter (string) --

      The filter that applies to the table. For example when applying the filter in SQL, it would go in the WHERE clause and can be evaluated by using an AND operator with any other predicates applied by the user querying the table.

SearchTables (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'TableList': {'FederatedTable': {'ConnectionType': 'string'}}}

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.

type CatalogId:

string

param CatalogId:

A unique identifier, consisting of ``account_id ``.

type NextToken:

string

param NextToken:

A continuation token, included if this is a continuation call.

type Filters:

list

param Filters:

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.

type SearchText:

string

param SearchText:

A string used for a text search.

Specifying a value in quotes filters based on an exact match to the value.

type SortCriteria:

list

param SortCriteria:

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.

type MaxResults:

integer

param MaxResults:

The maximum number of tables to return in a single response.

type ResourceShareType:

string

param ResourceShareType:

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.

type IncludeStatusDetails:

boolean

param IncludeStatusDetails:

Specifies whether to include status details related to a request to create or update an Glue Data Catalog view.
