Tables and Views
The connector possesses system tables that are used to discover the tables and views available in the data model. Of these system tables, "sys_tables" and "sys_views" are used to fetch information about the available tables and views respectively:
Tables
import cdata.redshift as mod conn = mod.connect("User=admin;Password=admin;Database=dev;Server=examplecluster.my.us-west-2.redshift.amazonaws.com;Port=5439;") cur = conn.cursor() cmd = "SELECT * FROM sys_tables" cur.execute(cmd) rs = cur.fetchall() for row in rs: print(row)
Views
import cdata.redshift as mod conn = mod.connect("User=admin;Password=admin;Database=dev;Server=examplecluster.my.us-west-2.redshift.amazonaws.com;Port=5439;") cur = conn.cursor() cmd = "SELECT * FROM sys_views" cur.execute(cmd, params) rs = cur.fetchall() for row in rs: print(row)
