Specifies what kinds of tables will be visible.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"TABLE,EXTERNAL,VIEW,MATERIALIZED_VIEW"

Remarks

This option is a comma-separated list of the table type values that the driver displays. Any table-like or view-like entity that doesn't have a matching type will not be reported when listing tables.

• TABLE Standard tables
• EXTERNAL Read-only table stored on another service (like GCS or Drive)
• SNAPSHOT A read-only table that preserves the data of another table at a specific point in time
• VIEW Standard views
• MATERIALIZED_VIEW A view that is recalculated and cached each time its base table changes

For example, to restrict the driver to listing only simple tables and views, this option would be set to TABLE,VIEW
