View

Instance of a database view in Atlan.

Complete reference

This is a complete reference for the View object in Atlan, showing every possible property and relationship that can exist for these objects. For an introduction, you probably want to start with:

  • Snippets — small, atomic examples of single-step use cases.
  • Patterns — walkthroughs of common multi-step implementation patterns.

View inherits its attributes and relationships from these other types:

    direction RL
    class View
    link View "../view"
    class SQL {
        <<abstract>>
    }
    link SQL "../sql"
    SQL <|-- View : extends
    class Catalog {
        <<abstract>>
    }
    link Catalog "../catalog"
    Catalog <|-- SQL : extends
    class Asset {
        <<abstract>>

    link Asset "../asset"
    Asset <|-- Catalog : extends
    class Referenceable {
