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.

          • IsProtected (boolean) –

            You can set this flag as true to instruct the engine not to push user-provided operations into the logical plan of the view during query planning. However, setting this flag does not guarantee that the engine will comply. Refer to the engine’s documentation to understand the guarantees provided, if any.

          • Definer (string) –

            The definer of a view in SQL.

          • SubObjects (list) –

            • (string) –

          • Representations (list) –

            A list of representations.

              • ViewExpandedText (string) –

                The expanded SQL for the view. This SQL is used by engines while processing a query on a view. Engines may perform operations during view creation to transform ViewOriginalText to ViewExpandedText. For example:

                • Fully qualify identifiers: SELECT * from table1 → SELECT * from db1.table1

              • IsStale (boolean) –

                Dialects marked as stale are no longer valid and must be updated before they can be queried in their respective query engines.

        • IsMultiDialectView (boolean) –

          Specifies whether the view supports the SQL dialects of one or more different query engines and can therefore be read by those engines.
