19.1. Creating a Shared Directory #

Execute the following query:

  SELECT metastore.add_folder('shared_directory_name', 'storage_name', 'path_to_the_shared_directory');

Where:

  • shared_directory_name: The unique shared directory name.

  • storage_name: The name of the storage where the shared directory is created.

  • path_to_the_shared_directory: The path to the shared directory relative to the root directory of the storage.

Example 19.1. 

  SELECT metastore.add_folder('shared_directory_example', 'storage_example', '/relative_path');

Once the query is executed, pgpro_metastore performs the following actions:

  1. Verifies user privileges.

  2. Ensures that the specified path leads to an existing shared directory.

  3. Creates a new entry in the pga_folder metadata table.
