Describes the properties of a DCM project.

DESCRIBE can be abbreviated to DESC.

See also:: CREATE DCM PROJECT , ALTER DCM PROJECT , DROP DCM PROJECT , EXECUTE DCM PROJECT, SHOW DCM PROJECTS, SHOW DEPLOYMENTS IN DCM PROJECT

Syntax¶

{ DESCRIBE | DESC } DCM PROJECT <name>

Parameters¶

name

Specifies the identifier for the DCM project to describe.

If the identifier contains spaces or special characters, the entire string must be enclosed in double quotes. Identifiers enclosed in double quotes are also case-sensitive.

For more information, see Identifier requirements.

Output¶

The output of the command includes the following columns, which describe the properties and metadata of the object:

DCM project properties¶
Column	Description
`name`	Name of the DCM project. Example: `my_project`
`created_on`	Timestamp when the DCM project was created. Example: `2022-01-01 00:00:00`
`owner`	User who owns the DCM project.
`comment`	User-defined comment associated with the DCM project.
`last_executed_version_name`	Name of the last executed DCM project version. Example: `VERSION$2`
`last_executed_version_alias`	Version alias of the last executed DCM project version.
`last_executed_version_path`	URI of the last executed version. Example: `snow://project/MY_DB.PUBLIC.P/versions/version$2/`
`last_executed_source_path`	Path to the last executed version sources. Example: `@project_stg/v1/`

Access control requirements¶

A role used to execute this operation must have the following privileges at a minimum:


Privilege	Object
READ	DCM project

Operating on an object in a schema requires at least one privilege on the parent database and at least one privilege on the parent schema.

For instructions on creating a custom role with a specified set of privileges, see Creating custom roles.

For general information about roles and privilege grants for performing SQL actions on securable objects, see Overview of Access Control.

Usage notes¶

To post-process the output of this command, you can use the pipe operator (->>) or the RESULT_SCAN function. Both constructs treat the output as a result set that you can query.

For example, you can use the pipe operator or RESULT_SCAN function to select specific columns from the SHOW command output or filter the rows.

When you refer to the output columns, use double-quoted identifiers for the column names. For example, to select the output column type, specify SELECT "type".

You must use double-quoted identifiers because the output column names for SHOW commands are in lowercase. The double quotes ensure that the column names in the SELECT list or WHERE clause match the column names in the SHOW command output that was scanned.

Examples¶

Describe the DCM project named my_project:

DESCRIBE DCM PROJECT my_project;
