Arguments

Required:

catalog_integration_name

Identifier for the catalog integration for Iceberg REST or Snowflake Open Catalog.

Optional:

parent_namespace

The identifier of the namespace from which to start listing tables. To retrieve results for the 0th namespace level in the catalog, specify an empty string ('').

Default: The default namespace for the catalog integration (CATALOG_NAMESPACE).

levels

Specifies the number of levels to traverse in the namespace hierarchy for listing tables.

For example:

  • If set to 0, the function returns all of the tables recursively, relative to the parent_namespace.

  • If set to 1, the function returns all of the tables within the parent_namespace.

  • If set to n, the function returns tables up to n levels deep, relative to the parent_namespace.

Default: 1

Returns

The JSON-formatted string has the following structure:

    "namespace": "<namespace_identifier>",
    "name": "<table_name>"
  },
  {
    "namespace": "<namespace_identifier>",
