Description

status

string

It can be one of the next options:
  • NOT_SCANNED if the table has not been scanned

  • SYNCHRONIZING while the sync schema process is running

  • DEPRECATED if there is a row in our table-descriptions collection that is no longer in the database, probably because the table/view was deleted or renamed

  • SCANNED when we have scanned the table

  • FAILED if anything failed during the sync schema process, and the error_message field stores the error.

error_message

string

This field is set only if the async schema process fails
