LIST ENTITIES

Syntax

[ LIST | SHOW ] ENTITIES
[IN fully_qualified_entity_name]
[IN STORE store_name];

Description

This command creates a new entity supported by a store. You can then use the entity to host relations created through DDL or query.

This command lists entities that are present under the entity name specified by fully_qualified_entity_name. If fully_qualified_entity_name is not provided, the system returns the entities under the root namespace.

Entities are listed only if the current role has USAGE privileges on the store.

Note: For stores with a large number of entities, this command limit the list to 1000 entities.

Arguments

IN fully_qualified_entity_name

Optionally, this lists entities under the provided entity name. Otherwise, the system returns the root entities.

IN STORE store_name

Optionally, this lists the entities in the specified store. By default, the system uses the current session's store.
