Reference documentation and code samples for the Data Catalog v1 API class DataplexExternalTable.
External table registered by Dataplex.
Dataplex publishes data discovered from an asset into multiple other systems
(BigQuery, DPMS) in form of tables. We call them "external tables". External
tables are also synced into the Data Catalog.
This message contains pointers to
those external tables (fully qualified name, resource name et cetera) within
the Data Catalog.
