Options
--query-execution-id (string)
--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.
--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.
Global Options
--debug (boolean)
Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url (string)
Override command’s default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl (boolean)
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate (boolean)
Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.
--output (string)
The formatting style for command output.
- json
- text
- table
- yaml
- yaml-stream
--query (string)
A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile (string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region (string)
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version (string)
Display the version of this tool.
--color (string)
Turn on/off color output.
- on
- off
- auto
--no-sign-request (boolean)
Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle (string)
The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout (int)
The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout (int)
The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-binary-format (string)
The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.
- base64
- raw-in-base64-out
--no-cli-pager (boolean)
Disable cli pager for output.
--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
Examples
Note
To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.
Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

Output
QueryExecution -> (structure)
Information about the query execution.
QueryExecutionId -> (string)
Query -> (string)
StatementType -> (string)
DDL indicates DDL query statements. DML indicates DML (Data Manipulation Language) query statements, such as CREATE TABLE AS SELECT . UTILITY indicates query statements other than DDL and DML, such as SHOW CREATE TABLE , EXPLAIN , DESCRIBE , or SHOW TABLES .ResultConfiguration -> (structure)
The location in Amazon S3 where query and calculation results are stored and the encryption option, if any, used for query results. These are known as “client-side settings”. If workgroup settings override client-side settings, then the query uses the location for the query results and the encryption configuration that are specified for the workgroup.
OutputLocation -> (string)
s3://path/to/query/bucket/ . To run the query, you must specify the query results location using one of the ways: either for individual queries using either this setting (client-side), or in the workgroup, using WorkGroupConfiguration . If none of them is set, Athena issues an error that no output location is provided. If workgroup settings override client-side settings, then the query uses the settings specified for the workgroup. See WorkGroupConfiguration$EnforceWorkGroupConfiguration .EncryptionConfiguration -> (structure)
If query and calculation results are encrypted in Amazon S3, indicates the encryption option used (for example, SSE_KMS or CSE_KMS ) and key information. This is a client-side setting. If workgroup settings override client-side settings, then the query uses the encryption configuration that is specified for the workgroup, and also uses the location for storing query results specified in the workgroup. See WorkGroupConfiguration$EnforceWorkGroupConfiguration and Workgroup Settings Override Client-Side Settings .
EncryptionOption -> (string)
Indicates whether Amazon S3 server-side encryption with Amazon S3-managed keys (SSE_S3 ), server-side encryption with KMS-managed keys (SSE_KMS ), or client-side encryption with KMS-managed keys (CSE_KMS ) is used.
If a query runs in a workgroup and the workgroup overrides client-side settings, then the workgroup’s setting for encryption is used. It specifies whether query results must be encrypted, for all queries that run in this workgroup.
KmsKey -> (string)
SSE_KMS and CSE_KMS , this is the KMS key ARN or ID.ExpectedBucketOwner -> (string)
The Amazon Web Services account ID that you expect to be the owner of the Amazon S3 bucket specified by ResultConfiguration$OutputLocation . If set, Athena uses the value for ExpectedBucketOwner when it makes Amazon S3 calls to your specified output location. If the ExpectedBucketOwner Amazon Web Services account ID does not match the actual owner of the Amazon S3 bucket, the call fails with a permissions error.
This is a client-side setting. If workgroup settings override client-side settings, then the query uses the ExpectedBucketOwner setting that is specified for the workgroup, and also uses the location for storing query results specified in the workgroup. See WorkGroupConfiguration$EnforceWorkGroupConfiguration and Workgroup Settings Override Client-Side Settings .
AclConfiguration -> (structure)
Indicates that an Amazon S3 canned ACL should be set to control ownership of stored query results. Currently the only supported canned ACL is BUCKET_OWNER_FULL_CONTROL . This is a client-side setting. If workgroup settings override client-side settings, then the query uses the ACL configuration that is specified for the workgroup, and also uses the location for storing query results specified in the workgroup. For more information, see WorkGroupConfiguration$EnforceWorkGroupConfiguration and Workgroup Settings Override Client-Side Settings .
S3AclOption -> (string)
BUCKET_OWNER_FULL_CONTROL . If a query runs in a workgroup and the workgroup overrides client-side settings, then the Amazon S3 canned ACL specified in the workgroup’s settings is used for all queries that run in the workgroup. For more information about Amazon S3 canned ACLs, see Canned ACL in the Amazon S3 User Guide .ResultReuseConfiguration -> (structure)
Specifies the query result reuse behavior that was used for the query.
ResultReuseByAgeConfiguration -> (structure)
Specifies whether previous query results are reused, and if so, their maximum age.
Enabled -> (boolean)
MaxAgeInMinutes -> (integer)
QueryExecutionContext -> (structure)
The database in which the query execution occurred.
Database -> (string)
Catalog -> (string)
Status -> (structure)
The completion date, current state, submission time, and state change reason (if applicable) for the query execution.
State -> (string)
The state of query execution. QUEUED indicates that the query has been submitted to the service, and Athena will execute the query as soon as resources are available. RUNNING indicates that the query is in execution phase. SUCCEEDED indicates that the query completed without errors. FAILED indicates that the query experienced an error and did not complete processing. CANCELLED indicates that a user input interrupted query execution.
Note
Athena automatically retries your queries in cases of certain transient errors. As a result, you may see the query state transition fromRUNNING or FAILED to QUEUED .StateChangeReason -> (string)
SubmissionDateTime -> (timestamp)
CompletionDateTime -> (timestamp)
AthenaError -> (structure)
Provides information about an Athena query error.
ErrorCategory -> (integer)
An integer value that specifies the category of a query failure error. The following list shows the category for each integer value.
1 - System
2 - User
3 - Other
ErrorType -> (integer)
Retryable -> (boolean)
ErrorMessage -> (string)
Statistics -> (structure)
Query execution statistics, such as the amount of data scanned, the amount of time that the query took to process, and the type of statement that was run.
EngineExecutionTimeInMillis -> (long)
DataScannedInBytes -> (long)
DataManifestLocation -> (string)
TotalExecutionTimeInMillis -> (long)
QueryQueueTimeInMillis -> (long)
ServicePreProcessingTimeInMillis -> (long)
QueryPlanningTimeInMillis -> (long)

A list of values for the parameters in a query. The values are applied sequentially to the parameters in the query in the order in which the parameters occur. The list of parameters is not returned in the response.
(string)
SubstatementType -> (string)
QueryResultsS3AccessGrantsConfiguration -> (structure)
Specifies whether Amazon S3 access grants are enabled for query results.
EnableS3AccessGrants -> (boolean)
