Request Syntax

response_iterator = paginator.paginate(
    CatalogId='string',
    DatabaseName='string',
    TableName='string',
    PaginationConfig={
        'MaxItems': 123,
        'PageSize': 123,
        'StartingToken': 'string'
    }
)
Parameters
  • CatalogId (string) -- The ID of the Data Catalog where the tables reside. If none is provided, the Amazon Web Services account ID is used by default.
  • DatabaseName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The database in the catalog in which the table resides. For Hive compatibility, this name is entirely lowercase.

  • TableName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the table. For Hive compatibility, this name is entirely lowercase.

  • PaginationConfig (dict) --

    A dictionary that provides parameters to control pagination.

    • MaxItems (integer) --

      The total number of items to return. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified in max-items then a NextToken will be provided in the output that you can use to resume pagination.

    • PageSize (integer) --

      The size of each page.

    • StartingToken (string) --

      A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previous response.
