Redshift Data API Service

2020/09/09 - Redshift Data API Service - 9 new api methods

Changes  The Amazon Redshift Data API is generally available. This release enables querying Amazon Redshift data and listing various database objects.

ListTables (new) Link ¶

List the tables in a database. If neither SchemaPattern nor TablePattern are specified, then all tables in the database are returned. A token is returned to page through the table list. Depending on the authorization method, use one of the following combinations of request parameters:

  • AWS Secrets Manager - specify the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret and the cluster identifier that matches the cluster in the secret.

  • Temporary credentials - specify the cluster identifier, the database name, and the database user name. Permission to call the redshift:GetClusterCredentials operation is required to use this method.
