list_databases

list_databases(**kwargs)

List the databases in a cluster. A token is returned to page through the database list. Depending on the authorization method, use one of the following combinations of request parameters:

• Secrets Manager - when connecting to a cluster, specify the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret, the database name, and the cluster identifier that matches the cluster in the secret. When connecting to a serverless workgroup, specify the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret and the database name.
• Temporary credentials - when connecting to a cluster, specify the cluster identifier, the database name, and the database user name. Also, permission to call the redshift:GetClusterCredentials operation is required. When connecting to a serverless workgroup, specify the workgroup name and database name. Also, permission to call the redshift-serverless:GetCredentials operation is required.

Request Syntax

response = client.list_databases(
    ClusterIdentifier='string',
    Database='string',
    DbUser='string',
    MaxResults=123,
    NextToken='string',
    SecretArn='string',
    WorkgroupName='string'
)

Parameters

• ClusterIdentifier (string) -- The cluster identifier. This parameter is required when connecting to a cluster and authenticating using either Secrets Manager or temporary credentials.
• Database (string) --

  [REQUIRED]

  The name of the database. This parameter is required when authenticating using either Secrets Manager or temporary credentials.

• DbUser (string) -- The database user name. This parameter is required when connecting to a cluster and authenticating using temporary credentials.
• MaxResults (integer) -- The maximum number of databases to return in the response. If more databases exist than fit in one response, then NextToken is returned to page through the results.
• NextToken (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.
• SecretArn (string) -- The name or ARN of the secret that enables access to the database. This parameter is required when authenticating using Secrets Manager.
• WorkgroupName (string) -- The serverless workgroup name or Amazon Resource Name (ARN). This parameter is required when connecting to a serverless workgroup and authenticating using either Secrets Manager or temporary credentials.

Response Structure

• (dict) --

  • Databases (list) --

    The names of databases.

    • (string) --

  • NextToken (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.
