search-tables

Description

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.

Options

--catalog-id (string)

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

--next-token (string)

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

--filters (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.

(structure)

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.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string,Comparator=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string",
    "Comparator": "EQUALS"|"GREATER_THAN"|"LESS_THAN"|"GREATER_THAN_EQUALS"|"LESS_THAN_EQUALS"
  }
  ...
]

--search-text (string)

A string used for a text search.

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

--sort-criteria (list)

A list of criteria for sorting the results by a field name, in an ascending or descending order.

(structure)

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.

Shorthand Syntax:

FieldName=string,Sort=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "FieldName": "string",
    "Sort": "ASC"|"DESC"
  }
  ...
]

--max-results (integer)

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

--resource-share-type (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.

Possible values:

• FOREIGN

• ALL

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

• json

• text

• table

• yaml

• yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

• on

• off

• auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

• base64

• raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
