Represents a collection of related data organized in columns and rows.

See: newTable smart constructor.

Create a value of Table with all optional fields omitted.

Use generic-lens or optics to modify other optional fields.

The following record fields are available, with the corresponding lenses provided for backwards compatibility:

$sel:retention:Table', table_retention - The retention time for this table.

$sel:targetTable:Table', table_targetTable - A TableIdentifier structure that describes a target table for resource linking.

$sel:isRegisteredWithLakeFormation:Table', table_isRegisteredWithLakeFormation - Indicates whether the table has been registered with Lake Formation.

$sel:createdBy:Table', table_createdBy - The person or entity who created the table.

$sel:tableType:Table', table_tableType - The type of this table (EXTERNAL_TABLE, VIRTUAL_VIEW, etc.).

$sel:catalogId:Table', table_catalogId - The ID of the Data Catalog in which the table resides.

$sel:owner:Table', table_owner - The owner of the table.

$sel:viewOriginalText:Table', table_viewOriginalText - If the table is a view, the original text of the view; otherwise null.

$sel:updateTime:Table', table_updateTime - The last time that the table was updated.

$sel:viewExpandedText:Table', table_viewExpandedText - If the table is a view, the expanded text of the view; otherwise null.

$sel:lastAnalyzedTime:Table', table_lastAnalyzedTime - The last time that column statistics were computed for this table.

$sel:storageDescriptor:Table', table_storageDescriptor - A storage descriptor containing information about the physical storage of this table.

$sel:databaseName:Table', table_databaseName - The name of the database where the table metadata resides. For Hive compatibility, this must be all lowercase.

$sel:parameters:Table', table_parameters - These key-value pairs define properties associated with the table.

$sel:lastAccessTime:Table', table_lastAccessTime - The last time that the table was accessed. This is usually taken from HDFS, and might not be reliable.

$sel:description:Table', table_description - A description of the table.

$sel:partitionKeys:Table', table_partitionKeys - A list of columns by which the table is partitioned. Only primitive types are supported as partition keys.

When you create a table used by Amazon Athena, and you do not specify any partitionKeys, you must at least set the value of partitionKeys to an empty list. For example:

"PartitionKeys": []

$sel:createTime:Table', table_createTime - The time when the table definition was created in the Data Catalog.

$sel:name:Table', table_name - The table name. For Hive compatibility, this must be entirely lowercase.

The retention time for this table.

A TableIdentifier structure that describes a target table for resource linking.

Indicates whether the table has been registered with Lake Formation.

The person or entity who created the table.

The type of this table (EXTERNAL_TABLE, VIRTUAL_VIEW, etc.).

The ID of the Data Catalog in which the table resides.

The owner of the table.

If the table is a view, the original text of the view; otherwise null.

The last time that the table was updated.

If the table is a view, the expanded text of the view; otherwise null.

The last time that column statistics were computed for this table.

A storage descriptor containing information about the physical storage of this table.

The name of the database where the table metadata resides. For Hive compatibility, this must be all lowercase.

These key-value pairs define properties associated with the table.

The last time that the table was accessed. This is usually taken from HDFS, and might not be reliable.

A description of the table.

A list of columns by which the table is partitioned. Only primitive types are supported as partition keys.

When you create a table used by Amazon Athena, and you do not specify any partitionKeys, you must at least set the value of partitionKeys to an empty list. For example:

"PartitionKeys": []

The time when the table definition was created in the Data Catalog.

The table name. For Hive compatibility, this must be entirely lowercase.
