Use the listIndexes API action to list indexes in the specified database table that the logged-in user is allowed to see
The "params" property is an object that contains an action's parameters. Each action defines its own required and optional properties.
Property summary
"params" property summariesProperty | Description | Default | Type | Limits (inclusive) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
specifies the name of a database | Defaults to the | string | 1 to 64 bytes | |
specifies the maximum number of records to return from an action. |
| integer |
| |
specifies the unique name of a schema in a database |
| string | 1 to 64 bytes | |
specifies the number of records to skip over in the results before returning records |
| integer |
| |
specifies the name of a table | Required - No default value | string | 1 to 64 bytes |
The "databaseName" property is an optional string that specifies the database that contains the tables. It defaults to the database name supplied at login.
Note
In the API Explorer, "defaultDatabaseName" is set to "ctreeSQL" in the "createSession" action that happens at login.
A zero-length
"databaseName"is invalid.Its limits are from 0 to 64 bytes.
If the
"databaseName"property is omitted or set tonull, the server will use the default database name specified at login.If no default database is specified during
"createSession","defaultDatabaseName"will be set to the"defaultDatabaseName"value that is specified in theservices.jsonfile.
The "maxRecords" is an optional integer from -1 to 65,535 that sets the maximum number of records to return from an action. It is used in query actions to paginate the query results when returning records directly. The default for most actions is to return 20 records.
Important
-1 returns all records and should be used very carefully because a large query can return so many records that it eventually times out and wastes server and client resources.
When present,
"maxRecords"works in conjunction with the"skipRecords"(and, when applicable,"reverseOrder") properties to paginate results."maxRecords"returns an error when"returnCursor"istrue.Note
This does not apply to the actions where
"returnCursor"is not present.When returning a cursor, retrieve records using the
"getRecordsFromCursor"action.A value of
0for"maxRecords"is not useful because it causes the action to return no records."maxRecords"is ignored by the"getRecordsByIds"action.
The "ownerName" property is an optional string from 1 to 64 bytes that specifies the account that owns an object.
The "skipRecords" property is an optional integer from 0 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. It is used in query actions to paginate the query results when returning records directly. It defaults to 0.
It specifies the number of records to skip over in the results before returning records.
It works with
"maxRecords"and"reverseOrder".It is ignored when
"returnCursor"istrue.Note
This does not apply to the actions where
"returnCursor"is not present.
The "tableName" property is a string containing the name of a table.
A table name may contain up to 64 ASCII characters and must not start with a number.
