SYSTEM$TASK_DEPENDENTS_ENABLE¶

Recursively resumes a specified task and all its dependent tasks. This function allows the owner of a task graph (like the role with the OWNERSHIP privilege on the tasks) to resume the tasks by executing a single SQL statement rather than resuming each task individually (using ALTER TASK … RESUME).

For more information about tasks, see Executing SQL statements on a schedule using tasks.

Syntax¶

SYSTEM$TASK_DEPENDENTS_ENABLE( '<task_name>' )
Copy

Arguments¶

task_name

Name of a task in a simple task graph. It does not need to be a root task.

Usage Notes¶

  • task_name is a string so it must be enclosed in single quotes:

    • Note that the entire name must be enclosed in single quotes, including the database and schema (if the name is fully-qualified), i.e. '<db>.<schema>.<task_name>'.

    • If the task name is case-sensitive or includes any special characters or spaces, double quotes are required to process the case/characters. The double quotes must be enclosed within the single quotes, i.e. '"<task_name>"'.

    • Accounts are currently limited to a maximum of 10000 resumed (i.e. in a Started state) tasks.

Examples¶

Resume a specified task and all its dependent tasks in a tree where the specified task has a case-insensitive name:

SELECT SYSTEM$TASK_DEPENDENTS_ENABLE('mydb.myschema.mytask');
Copy

Resume a specified task and all its dependent tasks in a tree where the specified task has a case-sensitive name:

SELECT SYSTEM$TASK_DEPENDENTS_ENABLE('mydb.myschema."myTask"');
Copy
