ListTables¶

When given a ListTables, the connection will return a ListTablesResponse:

>>> r = connection(ListTables())
>>> r
<LowVoltage.actions.list_tables.ListTablesResponse ...>
>>> r.table_names
[u'LowVoltage.Tests.Doc.1', u'LowVoltage.Tests.Doc.2']

See also the iterate_list_tables() compound. And Actions vs. compounds in the user guide.

class ListTablesResponse¶

The ListTables response.

last_evaluated_table_name¶

The name of the last table that was considered during the request. If not None, you should give it to exclusive_start_table_name() in a subsequent ListTables.

The iterate_list_tables() compound does that for you.

Type:	`None` or string

table_names¶

The names of the tables.

Type:	`None` or list of string

class ListTables¶

The ListTables request.

limit(limit)¶

Set Limit. The response will contain at most this number of table names.

>>> r = connection(ListTables().limit(1))
>>> r.table_names
[u'LowVoltage.Tests.Doc.1']
>>> r.last_evaluated_table_name
u'LowVoltage.Tests.Doc.1'

exclusive_start_table_name(table_name)¶

Set ExclusiveStartTableName. The response will contains tables that are after this one. Typically the last_evaluated_table_name of a previous response.

The iterate_list_tables() compound does that for you.

>>> connection(
...   ListTables()
...     .exclusive_start_table_name("LowVoltage.Tests.Doc.1")
... ).table_names
[u'LowVoltage.Tests.Doc.2']
