snowflake.snowpark.functions.map_cat(col1: Union[Column, str], col2: Union[Column, str], *cols: Union[Column, str])[source]

Returns the concatenatation of two or more MAPs.

Parameters:

  • col1 – The source map

  • col2 – The map to be appended to col1

  • cols – More maps to be appended

Example::
>>> df = session.sql("select {'k1': 'v1'} :: MAP(STRING,STRING) as A, {'k2': 'v2'} :: MAP(STRING,STRING) as B")
>>> df.select(map_cat("A", "B")).show()
