Insert a WHERE conditional in Table creation code for AWS Athena - amazon-web-services

Question

I need to create a table with a specific condition that can be updated when the bucket is updated. This is an example:
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `default`.`cards-test` (
`id` bigint,
`created_at` timestamp,
`type` string,
`account_id` bigint,
`last_4_digits` string,
`is_active` boolean,
`status` string,
)
ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.parquet.serde.ParquetHiveSerDe'
STORED AS INPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.parquet.MapredParquetInputFormat' OUTPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.parquet.MapredParquetOutputFormat'
LOCATION 's3://something/cards-bucket/'
TBLPROPERTIES ('classification' = 'parquet');
Now, let's say I want a WHERE clause that says WHERE type = 'type_1', can I insert this here? If so, where?
If not, how should I create a table with such specific conditions out of the buckets?

Answer 1

No, as doc show the syntax for CREATE TABLE - there is no option to provide filtering the data.
What you can do - create another table via CREATE TABLE AS syntax with filtering applied:
CREATE TABLE cards-test-type_1 WITH (
...
) AS
SELECT
*
FROM
cards-test
WHERE type = 'type_1'
Or create a view:
Creates a new view from a specified SELECT query. The view is a logical table that can be referenced by future queries. Views do not contain any data and do not write data. Instead, the query specified by the view runs each time you reference the view by another query.
CREATE VIEW cards-test-type_1 AS
SELECT
*
FROM
cards-test
WHERE type = 'type_1'
