Using Information Schema

After an incremental synchronization from a data source, how can I check the specific time a piece of data was synced to MaxCompute?

You cannot check the specific time when a piece of data was synchronized to MaxCompute. Instead, you can view the LastModifiedTime of the table's metadata. For more information, see Information Schema.

How do I view the Information Schema of a table?

For more information, see Information Schema.

What should I do if not all tables in a MaxCompute project are found in information_schema.tables?

Updates to MaxCompute metadata are delayed by at least 3 hours. Confirm the table creation time and wait for 3 hours before checking again.
