List tables

Use the Admin UI, the SHOW TABLES SQL statement, or the SHOW MEASUREMENTS InfluxQL statement to list tables in a database.

With InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated, tables and measurements are synonymous.

The InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated administrative UI includes a portal for managing tables. You can view the list of tables associated with a database and their details, including:

  • Name
  • Table ID
  • Table size (in bytes)
  1. To access the InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated Admin UI, visit the following URL in your browser:

  2. Use the credentials provided by InfluxData to log into the Admin UI. If you don’t have login credentials, contact InfluxData support.

    After you log in, the Account Management portal displays account information and lists all clusters associated with your account.

  3. In the cluster list, find the cluster that contains the database and table. You can Search for clusters by name or ID to filter the list and use the sort button and column headers to sort the list.

  4. Click the cluster row to view the list of databases associated with the cluster.

  5. In the database list, find the database that contains the table. You can Search for databases by name or ID to filter the list and use the sort button and column headers to sort the list.

  6. Click the database row to view the list of tables associated with the database.

  7. The table list displays the following table details:

    • Name
    • Table ID
    • Table size (in bytes)
  8. You can Search for tables by name or ID to filter the list and use the sort button and column headers to sort the list.

List tables with the influxctl CLI

To list tables using the influxctl CLI, use the influxctl query command to pass the SHOW TABLES SQL statement.

Provide the following with your command:

  • Database token: Database token with read permissions on the queried database. Uses the token setting from the influxctl connection profile or the --token command flag.
  • Database name: Name of the database to query. Uses the database setting from the influxctl connection profile or the --database command flag.
  • SQL query: SQL query with the SHOW TABLES statement.
influxctl query \
  --token 
DATABASE_TOKEN
\
--database
DATABASE_NAME
\
"SHOW TABLES"
  • Copy
  • Fill window

Replace the following:

  • DATABASE_TOKEN: Database token with read access to the queried database
  • DATABASE_NAME: Name of the database to query
