SHOW EXTERNAL FUNCTIONS¶

Lists all the external functions created for your account.

For more information, see Writing External Functions.

See also:

SHOW FUNCTIONS , SHOW USER FUNCTIONS, CREATE EXTERNAL FUNCTION , ALTER FUNCTION

Syntax¶

SHOW EXTERNAL FUNCTIONS [ LIKE '<pattern>' ]
Copy

Parameters¶

LIKE 'pattern'

Filters the command output by object name. The pattern supports the SQL wildcard characters (% and _):

  • An underscore (_) matches any single character.

  • A percent sign (%) matches any sequence of zero or more characters.

The filter uses case-insensitive pattern matching. For example, the following patterns return the same results:

  • ... LIKE '%testing%' ...

  • ... LIKE '%TESTING%' ...

Usage Notes¶

  • The command does not require a running warehouse to execute.

  • The command returns a maximum of 10K records for the specified object type, as dictated by the access privileges for the role used to execute the command; any records above the 10K limit are not returned, even with a filter applied.

    To view results for which more than 10K records exist, query the corresponding view (if one exists) in the Snowflake Information Schema.

  • To post-process the output of this command, you can use the RESULT_SCAN function, which treats the output as a table that can be queried.

  • The commands SHOW FUNCTIONS and SHOW USER FUNCTIONS also display information about external functions.

Examples¶

SHOW EXTERNAL FUNCTIONS;
