SHOW OBJECTS command

The SHOW OBJECTS command returns information about the resource objects that are owned by the current user or a specific user.

Persistent objects in schemas that the current user cannot access are omitted, even if the queried user still owns those objects. For more information, see Schema access control.

The following table describes the returned columns:

Column Description
type The type of resource object that is owned by the user. Valid values: SCHEMA, GRAPH TYPE, GRAPH, PROCEDURE, and FUNCTION.
name The parent reference and name of the resource object that is owned by the user.

Prerequisites

  • Any user can query the resource objects that they own.
  • To query resource objects owned by another user, the current user must have ADMIN.

Syntax

show_objects_command
SHOW OBJECTS FOR USER user_name

show_objects_command ::=
    'SHOW' 'OBJECTS' ('FOR' 'USER' user_name)?

Parameters

FOR

Specifies whether to query the objects owned by a specific user.

If the FOR clause is not specified, the command queries the objects owned by the current user by default.
