snowflake.core.view.ViewCollection

class snowflake.core.view.ViewCollection(schema: SchemaResource)

Bases: ViewCollectionBase

Represents the collection operations on the Snowflake View resource.

With this collection, you can create, iterate through, and search for views that you have access to in the current context.

Examples

Creating a view instance:

>>> views = root.databases["my_db"].schemas["my_schema"].views
>>> new_view = View(
...     name="my_view",
...     columns=[ViewColumn(name="col1"), ViewColumn(name="col2"), ViewColumn(name="col3")],
...     query="SELECT * FROM my_table",
... )
>>> views.create(new_view)
Copy

Attributes

database

The DatabaseResource this collection belongs to.

root

The Root object this collection belongs to.

Methods

create(view: View, mode: CreateMode | str | None = None, copy_grants: bool | None = None) → ViewResource

Create a view.

Parameters:

  • view (View) – (required)

  • mode (Union[CreateMode, str]) – Parameter allowing support for different modes of resource creation. Possible values include: - errorIfExists: Throws an error if you try to create a resource that already exists. - orReplace: Automatically replaces the existing resource with the current one. - ifNotExists: Creates a new resource when an alter is requested for a non-existent resource.

  • copy_grants (bool) – Parameter to enable copy grants when creating the object.

create_async(view: View, mode: CreateMode | str | None = None, copy_grants: bool | None = None) → PollingOperation[ViewResource]

An asynchronous version of create().

Refer to PollingOperation for more information on asynchronous execution and the return type.

items() → ItemsView[str, T]
iter(*, like: str | None = None, starts_with: str | None = None, limit: int | None = None, from_name: str | None = None, deep: bool | None = None, show_limit: int | None = None) → Iterator[View]

List views.

Parameters:

  • like (str) – Parameter to filter the command output by resource name. Uses case-insensitive pattern matching, with support for SQL wildcard characters.

  • starts_with (str) – Parameter to filter the command output based on the string of characters that appear at the beginning of the object name. Uses case-sensitive pattern matching.

  • limit (int) – Parameter to limit the maximum number of rows returned by a command.

  • from_name (str) – Parameter to enable fetching rows only following the first row whose object name matches the specified string. Case-sensitive and does not have to be the full name.

  • deep (bool) – Optionally includes dependency information of the view.

iter_async(*, like: str | None = None, starts_with: str | None = None, limit: int | None = None, from_name: str | None = None, deep: bool | None = None, show_limit: int | None = None) → PollingOperation[Iterator[View]]

An asynchronous version of iter().

Refer to PollingOperation for more information on asynchronous execution and the return type.

keys() → KeysView[str]
update_reference(old_name: str, new_name: str, resource: T) → None

Update the collection with a new item.

values() → ValuesView[T]
