get-named-query¶

Description¶

Returns information about a single query. Requires that you have access to the workgroup in which the query was saved.

Synopsis¶

  get-named-query
--named-query-id <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--named-query-id (string)

The unique ID of the query. Use ListNamedQueries to get query IDs.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

The following get-named-query example returns information about the query that has the specified ID.

aws athena get-named-query \
    --named-query-id a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111

Output:

{
    "NamedQuery": {
        "Name": "CloudFront Logs - SFO",
        "Description": "Shows successful GET request data for SFO",
        "Database": "default",
        "QueryString": "select date, location, browser, uri, status from cloudfront_logs where method = 'GET' and status = 200 and location like 'SFO%' limit 10",
        "NamedQueryId": "a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111",
        "WorkGroup": "AthenaAdmin"
    }
}
