Amazon Redshift dejará de admitir la creación de nuevas UDF de Python a partir del parche 198. Las UDF de Python existentes seguirán funcionando hasta el 30 de junio de 2026. Para obtener más información, consulte la [publicación del blog](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/amazon-redshift-python-user-defined-functions-will-reach-end-of-support-after-june-30-2026/). 

# Descripción de una tabla
<a name="data-api-calling-cli-describe-table"></a>

Para obtener los metadatos que describen una tabla, utilice el comando `aws redshift-data describe-table` de la AWS CLI.

El siguiente comando de la AWS CLI ejecuta una instrucción SQL en un clúster y devuelve los metadatos que describen una tabla. En este ejemplo, se utiliza el método de autenticación de AWS Secrets Manager.

```
aws redshift-data describe-table  
    --cluster-identifier mycluster-test 
    --database dev 
    --schema information_schema 
    --table sql_features 
    --secret-arn arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-2:123456789012:secret:myuser-secret-hKgPWn
```

A continuación se muestra un ejemplo de respuesta.

```
{
    "ColumnList": [
        {
            "isCaseSensitive": false,
            "isCurrency": false,
            "isSigned": false,
            "length": 2147483647,
            "name": "feature_id",
            "nullable": 1,
            "precision": 2147483647,
            "scale": 0,
            "schemaName": "information_schema",
            "tableName": "sql_features",
            "typeName": "character_data"
        },
        {
            "isCaseSensitive": false,
            "isCurrency": false,
            "isSigned": false,
            "length": 2147483647,
            "name": "feature_name",
            "nullable": 1,

            "scale": 0,
            "schemaName": "information_schema",
            "tableName": "sql_features",
            "typeName": "character_data"
        }     
    ]
}
```

El siguiente comando de la AWS CLI ejecuta una instrucción SQL en un clúster que describe una tabla. En este ejemplo, se utiliza el método de autenticación de credenciales temporales.

```
aws redshift-data describe-table 
    --db-user myuser 
    --cluster-identifier mycluster-test 
    --database dev 
    --schema information_schema 
    --table sql_features
```
