Table Admin Usage

After creating an Database, you can interact with individual tables for that instance.

List Tables

To iterate over all existing tables for an database, use its list_tables() method:

for table in database.list_tables(): # `table` is a `Table` object. 

This method yields Table objects.

Table Factory

A Table object can be created with the table() factory method:

table = database.table("my_table_id") if table.exists(): print("Table with ID 'my_table' exists.") else: print("Table with ID 'my_table' does not exist." 

Getting the Table Schema

Use the schema property to inspect the columns of a table as a list of Field objects.

for field in table.schema # `field` is a `Field` object.
