What is... a Table? A table resides in the third layer of Unity Catalog’s three-level namespace.It contains rows of data. To create a table, users must have CREATE_TABLE and USE_SCHEMA permissions on the schema, and they must have the USE_CATALOG permission on its parent catalog. To query a table, users must have the SELECT permission on the table, and they must have the USE_CATALOG permission on its parent catalog and the USE_SCHEMA permission on its parent schema. A table can be managed or external. From an API perspective, a VIEW is a particular kind of table (rather than a managed or external table). See Also: What is... Unity Catalog? What is... A Catalog?
