Applies to: Databricks SQL
Databricks Runtime
Shows information for all tables matching the given regular expression.
Output includes basic table information and file system information like Last Access
,
Created By
, Type
, Provider
, Table Properties
, Location
, Serde Library
, InputFormat
,
OutputFormat
, Storage Properties
, Partition Provider
, Partition Columns
, and Schema
.
If a partition specification is present, it outputs the given partition’s file-system-specific
information such as Partition Parameters
and Partition Statistics
. You cannot use a table regex
with a partition specification.
Parameters
-
Specifies schema name. If not provided, uses the current schema.
regex_pattern
The regular expression pattern used to filter out unwanted tables.
Except for
*
and|
character, the pattern works like a regular expression.*
alone matches 0 or more characters and|
is used to separate multiple different regular expressions, any of which can match.The leading and trailing blanks are trimmed in the input pattern before processing. The pattern match is case-insensitive.
-
Optionally specifying partitions. You cannot use a table regex pattern with a
PARTITION
clause.
Examples
-- Assumes `employee` table partitioned by column `grade`
> CREATE TABLE employee(name STRING, grade INT) PARTITIONED BY (grade);
> INSERT INTO employee PARTITION (grade = 1) VALUES ('sam');
> INSERT INTO employee PARTITION (grade = 2) VALUES ('suj');
-- Show the details of the table
> SHOW TABLE EXTENDED LIKE 'employee';
