def create_dli_tbl(dli_client, db_name, tbl_name):
    cols = [
        Column('col_1', 'string'),
        Column('col_2', 'string'),
        Column('col_3', 'smallint'),
        Column('col_4', 'int'),
        Column('col_5', 'bigint'),
        Column('col_6', 'double'),
        Column('col_7', 'decimal(10,0)'),
        Column('col_8', 'boolean'),
        Column('col_9', 'date'),
        Column('col_10', 'timestamp')
    ]
    sort_cols = ['col_1']
    tbl_schema = TableSchema(tbl_name, cols, sort_cols)
    try:
        table = dli_client.create_dli_table(db_name, tbl_schema)
    except DliException as e:
        print(e)
        return

    print(table)

def create_obs_tbl(dli_client, db_name, tbl_name):
    cols = [
        Column('col_1', 'string'),
        Column('col_2', 'string'),
        Column('col_3', 'smallint'),
        Column('col_4', 'int'),
        Column('col_5', 'bigint'),
        Column('col_6', 'double'),
        Column('col_7', 'decimal(10,0)'),
        Column('col_8', 'boolean'),
        Column('col_9', 'date'),
        Column('col_10', 'timestamp')
    ]
    tbl_schema = TableSchema(tbl_name, cols)
    try:
        table = dli_client.create_obs_table(db_name, tbl_schema,
                                            'obs://bucket/obj',
                                            'csv')
    except DliException as e:
        print(e)
        return

    print(table)
  • You need to create an OBS path in advance and specify it when creating an OBS table.
  • For details about the dependencies and complete sample code, see Overview.

Deleting a Table

DLI provides an API for deleting tables. The example code is as follows:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
 
def delete_tbls(dli_client, db_name):
    try:
        tbls = dli_client.list_tables(db_name)
        for tbl in tbls:
            dli_client.delete_table(db_name, tbl.name)
    except DliException as e:
        print(e)
        return
  • A deleted table cannot be restored. Exercise caution when deleting a table.
  • For details about the dependencies and complete sample code, see Overview.

Querying All Tables

DLI provides an API for querying tables. The example code is as follows:

1
2
3
4
5
6

9
 
def list_all_tbls(dli_client, db_name):
    try:
        tbls = dli_client.list_tables(db_name, with_detail=True)
    except DliException as e:
        print(e)
        return

    for tbl in tbls:
        print(tbl.name)

For details about the dependencies and complete sample code, see Overview.

Describing Table Information

You can call an API to obtain the metadata description of a table. The sample code is as follows: 
def get_table_schema(dli_client, db_name, tbl_name):
 try:
        table_info = dli_client.get_table_schema(db_name, tbl_name)
        print(table_info)
    except DliException as e:
        print(e)
        return
