Project Operations

Command format:

use <project_name>;

Action:

• Enter the specified project.  After entering the project, all objects in this project can be operated by the user.
• If the project does not exist or the current user is not in this project, an exception is returned.

Example:

odps:my_project>use my_project; --my_project is a project the user has privilege to access.

After running the command, a user can access the objects of this project. In the following example, assume that test_src exists in the project ‘my_project’. Run the following command:

odps:my_project>select * from test_src;

MaxCompute automatically searches the table in my_project. If the table exists, it returns the data of this table. If the table does not exist, an exception is thrown. To access the table test_src in another project, such as ‘my_project2’, through the project ‘my_project’, you must first specify the project name as follows:

odps:my_project>select * from my_project2.test_src;
