Impala: Show tables like query

问题

I am working with Impala and fetching the list of tables from the database with some pattern like below.

Assume i have a Database bank, and tables under this database are like below.

cust_profile
cust_quarter1_transaction
cust_quarter2_transaction
product_cust_xyz
....
....
etc

Now i am filtering like

show tables in bank like '*cust*'

It is returning the expected results like, which are the tables has a word cust in its name.

Now my requirement is i want all the tables which will have cust in its name and table should not have quarter2.

Can someone please help me how to solve this issue.

回答1:

Execute from the shell and then filter

impala-shell -q "show tables in bank like '*cust*'" | grep -v 'quarter2'

回答2:

Query the metastore

 mysql -u root -p -e "select TBL_NAME from metastore.TBLS where TBL_NAME like '%cust%' and TBL_NAME not like '%quarter2%'";
