Output includes basic table information and file system information like `Last Access`, `Created By`, `Type`, `Provider`, `Table Properties`, `Location`, `Serde Library`, `InputFormat`, `OutputFormat`, `Storage Properties`, `Partition Provider`, `Partition Columns` and `Schema`. If a partition specification is present, it outputs the given partition's file-system-specific information such as `Partition Parameters` and `Partition Statistics`. Note that a table regex cannot be used with a partition specification. ```sql SHOW TABLE EXTENDED [ { IN | FROM } databasename ] LIKE regexpattern [ partition_spec ] ``` { IN`|`FROM } database_name* Specifies database name. If not provided, will use the current database. regex_pattern* Specifies the regular expression pattern that is used to filter out unwanted tables. Except for `` and `|` character, the pattern works like a regular expression. `` alone matches 0 or more characters and `|` is used to separate multiple different regular expressions, any of which can match. The leading and trailing blanks are trimmed in the input pattern before processing. The pattern match is case-insensitive. partition_spec* An optional parameter that specifies a comma separated list of key and value pairs for partitions. Note that a table regex cannot be used with a partition specification. Syntax: `PARTITION ( partitioncolname = partitioncolval [ ,

] )` ```sql -- Assumes `employee` table created with partitioned by column `grade` CREATE TABLE employee(name STRING, grade INT) PARTITIONED BY (grade); INSERT INTO employee PARTITION (grade = 1) VALUES ('sam'); INSERT INTO employee PARTITION (grade = 2) VALUES ('suj'); -- Show the details of the table SHOW TABLE EXTENDED LIKE 'employee'; +--++--+--+ |database|tableName|isTemporary| information | +--++--+--+ |default |employee |false |Database: default Table: employee Owner: root Created Time: Fri Aug 30 15:10:21 IST 2019 Last Access: Thu Jan 01 05:30:00 IST 1970 Created By: Spark 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT Type: MANAGED Provider: hive Table Properties: [transient_lastDdlTime=1567158021] Location: file:/opt/spark1/spark/spark-warehouse/employee Serde Library: org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.lazy .LazySimpleSerDe InputFormat: org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TextInputFormat OutputFormat: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io .HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat Storage Properties: [serialization.format=1] Partition Provider: Catalog Partition Columns: [`grade`] Schema: root |-- name: string (nullable = true) |-- grade: integer (nullable = true) +--++--+--+ -- showing the multiple table details with pattern matching SHOW TABLE EXTENDED LIKE 'employe*'; +--++--+--+ |database|tableName|isTemporary| information | +--++--+--+ |default |employee |false |Database: default Table: employee Owner: root Created Time: Fri Aug 30 15:10:21 IST 2019 Last Access: Thu Jan 01 05:30:00 IST 1970 Created By: Spark 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT Type: MANAGED Provider: hive Table Properties: [transient_lastDdlTime=1567158021] Location: file:/opt/spark1/spark/spark-warehouse/employee Serde Library: org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.lazy .LazySimpleSerDe InputFormat: org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TextInputFormat OutputFormat: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io .HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat Storage Properties: [serialization.format=1] Partition Provider: Catalog Partition Columns: [`grade`] Schema: root |-- name: string (nullable = true) |-- grade: integer (nullable = true) |default |employee1|false |Database: default Table: employee1 Owner: root Created Time: Fri Aug 30 15:22:33 IST 2019 Last Access: Thu Jan 01 05:30:00 IST 1970 Created By: Spark 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT Type: MANAGED Provider: hive Table Properties: [transient_lastDdlTime=1567158753] Location: file:/opt/spark1/spark/spark-warehouse/employee1 Serde Library: org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.lazy .LazySimpleSerDe InputFormat: org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TextInputFormat OutputFormat: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io .HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat Storage Properties: [serialization.format=1] Partition Provider: Catalog Schema: root |-- name: string (nullable = true) +--++-++ -- show partition file system details SHOW TABLE EXTENDED IN default LIKE 'employee' PARTITION (grade=1); +--++--+--+ |database|tableName|isTemporary| information | +--++--+--+ |default |employee |false |Partition Values: [grade=1] Location: file:/opt/spark1/spark/spark-warehouse/employee /grade=1 Serde Library: org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.lazy .LazySimpleSerDe InputFormat: org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TextInputFormat OutputFormat: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io .HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat Storage Properties: [serialization.format=1] Partition Parameters: {rawDataSize=-1, numFiles=1, transient_lastDdlTime=1567158221, totalSize=4, COLUMNSTATSACCURATE=false, numRows=-1} Created Time: Fri Aug 30 15:13:41 IST 2019 Last Access: Thu Jan 01 05:30:00 IST 1970 Partition Statistics: 4 bytes | +--++--+--+ -- show partition file system details with regex fails as shown below SHOW TABLE EXTENDED IN default LIKE 'empl*' PARTITION (grade=1); Error: Error running query: org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis.NoSuchTableException: Table or view 'emplo*' not found in database 'default'; (state=,code=0) ```
