适用于：勾选“是” Databricks SQL 勾选“是” Databricks Runtime

返回现有函数的基本元数据信息。 元数据信息包括函数名称、实现类和使用详细信息。 如果指定了可选的 EXTENDED 选项，则将返回基本元数据信息和详细使用信息。

语法

{ DESC | DESCRIBE } FUNCTION [ EXTENDED ] function_name

参数

  • function_name

    元存储中现有函数的名称。 可选择使用架构名称来限定函数名称。 如果 function_name 使用架构进行限定，则从用户指定的架构解析该函数，否则从当前架构解析该函数。

示例

-- Describe a builtin scalar function.
-- Returns function name, implementing class and usage
> DESCRIBE FUNCTION abs;
 Function: abs
 Class: org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.expressions.Abs
 Usage: abs(expr) - Returns the absolute value of the numeric value.

-- Describe a builtin scalar function.
-- Returns function name, implementing class and usage and examples.
> DESCRIBE FUNCTION EXTENDED abs;
 Function: abs
 Class: org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.expressions.Abs
 Usage: abs(expr) - Returns the absolute value of the numeric value.
 Extended Usage:
     Examples:
       > SELECT abs(-1);
        1

-- Describe a builtin aggregate function
> DESCRIBE FUNCTION max;
 Function: max
 Class: org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.expressions.aggregate.Max
 Usage: max(expr) - Returns the maximum value of `expr`.

-- Describe a builtin user defined aggregate function

> DESCRIBE FUNCTION EXTENDED explode;
 Function: explode
 Class: org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.expressions.Explode
 Usage: explode(expr) - Separates the elements of array `expr`
  into multiple rows, or the elements of map `expr` into
  multiple rows and columns. Unless specified otherwise, use
  the default column name `col` for elements of the array or
  `key` and `value` for the elements of the map.
 Extended Usage:
     Examples:
       > SELECT explode(array(10, 20));
        10
        20

-- Describe a user defined scalar function
