aws redshift-data describe-table
Describes the detailed information about a table from metadata in the cluster. The information includes its columns. A token is returned to page through the column list. Depending on the authorization method, use one of the following combinations of request parameters: AWS Secrets Manager - specify the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret and the cluster identifier that matches the cluster in the secret. Temporary credentials - specify the cluster identifier, the database name, and the database user name. Permission to call the redshift:GetClusterCredentials operation is required to use this method
Options
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
--cluster-identifier <string> | The cluster identifier. This parameter is required when authenticating using either AWS Secrets Manager or temporary credentials |
--connected-database <string> | A database name. The connected database is specified when you connect with your authentication credentials |
--database <string> | The name of the database that contains the tables to be described. If ConnectedDatabase is not specified, this is also the database to connect to with your authentication credentials |
--db-user <string> | The database user name. This parameter is required when authenticating using temporary credentials |
--max-results <integer> | 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 |
--next-token <string> | 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 |
--schema <string> | The schema that contains the table. If no schema is specified, then matching tables for all schemas are returned |
--secret-arn <string> | The name or ARN of the secret that enables access to the database. This parameter is required when authenticating using AWS Secrets Manager |
--table <string> | The table name. If no table is specified, then all tables for all matching schemas are returned. If no table and no schema is specified, then all tables for all schemas in the database are returned |
--cli-input-json <string> | Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by ``--generate-cli-skeleton``. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI 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 |
--starting-token <string> | A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response. For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide |
--page-size <integer> | The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command's output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out. For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide |
--max-items <integer> | The total number of items to return in the command's output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command's output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI. For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide |
--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``. If provided with the value ``output``, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command |
