Get​

GET /api/2.1/unity-catalog/tables/{full_name_arg}

Gets a table from the metastore for a specific catalog and schema. The caller must satisfy one of the following requirements:

  • Be a metastore admin
  • Be the owner of the parent catalog
  • Be the owner of the parent schema and have the USE_CATALOG privilege on the parent catalog
  • Have the USE_CATALOG privilege on the parent catalog and the USE_SCHEMA privilege on the parent schema, and either be the table owner or have the SELECT privilege on the table.

API scopes: unity-catalog

Parameters​

full_name_argstringpath

Full name of the table.

include_delta_metadatabooleanquery

Whether delta metadata should be included in the response.

include_browsebooleanquery

Whether to include tables in the response for which the principal can only access selective metadata for.

include_manifest_capabilitiesbooleanquery

Whether to include a manifest containing table capabilities in the response.

Response​

Returns the TableInfo object.

List​

GET /api/2.1/unity-catalog/tables

Gets an array of all tables for the current metastore under the parent catalog and schema. The caller must be a metastore admin or an owner of (or have the SELECT privilege on) the table. For the latter case, the caller must also be the owner or have the USE_CATALOG privilege on the parent catalog and the USE_SCHEMA privilege on the parent schema. There is no guarantee of a specific ordering of the elements in the array.

NOTE: view_dependencies and table_constraints are not returned by ListTables queries.

NOTE: we recommend using max_results=0 to use the paginated version of this API. Unpaginated calls will be deprecated soon.

PAGINATION BEHAVIOR: When using pagination (max_results >= 0), a page may contain zero results while still providing a next_page_token. Clients must continue reading pages until next_page_token is absent, which is the only indication that the end of results has been reached.

API scopes: unity-catalog

Parameters​

catalog_namestringquery

Name of parent catalog for tables of interest.

schema_namestringquery

Parent schema of tables.

max_resultsint32query

Maximum number of tables to return. If not set, all the tables are returned (not recommended).

  • when set to a value greater than 0, the page length is the minimum of this value and a server configured value;
  • when set to 0, the page length is set to a server configured value (recommended);
  • when set to a value less than 0, an invalid parameter error is returned;

Constraints: <= 50

page_tokenstringquery

Opaque token to send for the next page of results (pagination).

omit_columnsbooleanquery

Whether to omit the columns of the table from the response or not.

omit_propertiesbooleanquery

Whether to omit the properties of the table from the response or not.

omit_usernamebooleanquery

Whether to omit the username of the table (e.g. owner, updated_by, created_by) from the response or not.

include_browsebooleanquery

Whether to include tables in the response for which the principal can only access selective metadata for.

include_manifest_capabilitiesbooleanquery

Whether to include a manifest containing table capabilities in the response.

Response​

Returns a list of TableInfo objects.

Create​

POST /api/2.1/unity-catalog/tables

Creates a new table in the specified catalog and schema.

To create an external delta table, the caller must have the EXTERNAL_USE_SCHEMA privilege on the parent schema and the EXTERNAL_USE_LOCATION privilege on the external location. These privileges must always be granted explicitly, and cannot be inherited through ownership or ALL_PRIVILEGES.

Standard UC permissions needed to create tables still apply: USE_CATALOG on the parent catalog (or ownership of the parent catalog), CREATE_TABLE and USE_SCHEMA on the parent schema (or ownership of the parent schema), and CREATE_EXTERNAL_TABLE on external location.

The columns field needs to be in a Spark compatible format, so we recommend you use Spark to create these tables. The API itself does not validate the correctness of the column spec. If the spec is not Spark compatible, the tables may not be readable by Databricks Runtime.

NOTE: The Create Table API for external clients only supports creating external delta tables. The values shown in the respective enums are all values supported by <Databricks>, however for this specific Create Table API, only table_type EXTERNAL and data_source_format DELTA are supported. Additionally, column masks are not supported when creating tables through this API.

API scopes: unity-catalog
