Parameters

Parameters can be passed in the WHERE clause of a query. Check the Methods section to see which parameters are required or optional for each operation.

NameDatatypeDescription
database_namestringIdentifier (i.e. name) for the database to which the resource belongs. You can use the /api/v2/databases GET request to get a list of available databases.
endpointstringOrganization and Account Name (default: orgid-acctid)
nameWithArgsstringFunction's name with Args
schema_namestringIdentifier (i.e. name) for the schema to which the resource belongs. You can use the /api/v2/databases/{database}/schemas GET request to get a list of available schemas for the specified database.
copyGrantsbooleanQuery parameter to enable copy grants when creating the object.
createModestringQuery parameter allowing support for different modes of resource creation. Possible values include: - errorIfExists: Throws an error if you try to create a resource that already exists. - orReplace: Automatically replaces the existing resource with the current one. - ifNotExists: Creates a new resource when an alter is requested for a non-existent resource.
ifExistsbooleanQuery parameter that specifies how to handle the request for a resource that does not exist: - true: The endpoint does not throw an error if the resource does not exist. It returns a 200 success response, but does not take any action on the resource. - false: The endpoint throws an error if the resource doesn't exist.
likestringQuery parameter to filter the command output by resource name. Uses case-insensitive pattern matching, with support for SQL wildcard characters.
