Amazon Redshift will no longer support the creation of new Python UDFs starting Patch 198. Existing Python UDFs will continue to function until June 30, 2026. For more information, see the [ blog post ](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/amazon-redshift-python-user-defined-functions-will-reach-end-of-support-after-june-30-2026/). 

# Describe metadata about a SQL statement
<a name="data-api-calling-cli-describe-statement"></a>

To get descriptions of metadata for a SQL statement, use the `aws redshift-data describe-statement` AWS CLI command. Authorization to run this command is based on the caller's IAM permissions. 

The following AWS CLI command describes a SQL statement. 

```
aws redshift-data describe-statement 
    --id d9b6c0c9-0747-4bf4-b142-e8883122f766
```

The following is an example of the response.

```
{
    "ClusterIdentifier": "mycluster-test",
    "CreatedAt": 1598306924.632,
    "Duration": 1095981511,
    "Id": "d9b6c0c9-0747-4bf4-b142-e8883122f766",
    "QueryString": "select * from stl_query limit 1",
    "RedshiftPid": 20859,
    "RedshiftQueryId": 48879,
    "ResultRows": 1,
    "ResultSize": 4489,
    "Status": "FINISHED",
    "UpdatedAt": 1598306926.667
}
```

The following is an example of a `describe-statement` response after running a `batch-execute-statement` command with multiple SQL statements.
