Retrieves records from a collection. The operation can optionally return the record IDs which can be used in certain queries such as Delete Records.
This operation supports paging through the data via the input parameter offset and input parameter limit parameters.
Note that when using the Java API, it is not possible to retrieve records from join views using this operation. (DEPRECATED)
Input Parameter Description
| Name | Type | Description | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| table_name | string | Name of the collection or table from which records are to be retrieved, in [schema_name.]table_name format, using standard name resolution rules. Must be an existing collection or table. | ||||||
| offset | long | A positive integer indicating the number of initial results to skip (this can be useful for paging through the results). The default value is 0.The minimum allowed value is 0. The maximum allowed value is MAX_INT. | ||||||
| limit | long | A positive integer indicating the maximum number of results to be returned, or END_OF_SET (-9999) to indicate that the maximum number of results allowed by the server should be returned. The number of records returned will never exceed the server's own limit, defined by the max_get_records_size parameter in the server configuration. Use input parameter offset & input parameter limit to request subsequent pages of results. The default value is -9999. | ||||||
| encoding | string | Specifies the encoding for returned records; either binary or json. The default value is binary. The supported values are:
| ||||||
| options | map of string to strings | The default value is an empty map ( {} ).
|
Output Parameter Description
| Name | Type | Description | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| table_name | string | Value of input parameter table_name. | ||||||
| type_names | array of strings | The type IDs of the corresponding records in output parameter records_binary or output parameter records_json. This is useful when input parameter table_name is a heterogeneous collection (collections containing tables of different types). | ||||||
| records_binary | array of bytes | If the encoding parameter of the request was 'binary' then this list contains the binary encoded records retrieved from the table/collection. Otherwise, empty list. | ||||||
| records_json | array of strings | If the encoding parameter of the request was 'json', then this list contains the JSON encoded records retrieved from the table/collection. Otherwise, empty list. | ||||||
| record_ids | array of strings | If the 'return_record_ids' option of the request was 'true', then this list contains the internal ID for each object. Otherwise it will be empty. | ||||||
| info | map of string to strings | Additional information. The default value is an empty map ( {} ).
