Lists the Delta Sharing providers that match an optionally supplied regular expression pattern. If no pattern is supplied, then the command lists all the providers visible to you.

To see a provider, you must either be the owner or a metastore administrator.

Syntax​

SHOW PROVIDERS [ [ LIKE ] regex_pattern ]

Parameters​

  • regex_pattern

    A regular expression pattern that is used to filter the results of the statement.

    • 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.
