execute immediate select vertica

What is col? Is it the list of columns for the corresponding table or count of columns?

If you are looking for information on DDL like schemas, tables, columns, have a look at the system table v_monitor.column_storage

I wonder if this is the intention?

dbadmin=> SELECT * FROM like_this_one;
 schema_name | table_name | col
-------------+------------+-----
 public      | test       | c
 public      | test2      | c
(2 rows)

dbadmin=> SELECT * FROM public.test;
 c
---
 1
 2
 3
(3 rows)

dbadmin=> SELECT * FROM public.test2;
 c
----
  1
  5
 10
(3 rows)

dbadmin=> \! vsql -Atc "SELECT 'CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW public.table_max_values AS ' UNION ALL SELECT 'SELECT ''' || schema_name || ''' AS schema_name, ''' || table_name || ''' AS table_name, ''' || col || ''' AS col, (SELECT MAX(' || col || ') FROM ' || schema_name || '.' || table_name || ') AS max' || NVL2(LEAD(schema_name) OVER (ORDER BY 1), ' UNION ALL', ';') FROM like_this_one;" | vsql
CREATE VIEW

dbadmin=> SELECT * FROM public.table_max_values;
 schema_name | table_name | col | max
-------------+------------+-----+-----
 public      | test       | c   |   3
 public      | test2      | c   |  10
(2 rows)

Problem here is that the view needs to be "refreshed" (i.e. re-created periodically) to get up tp date MAX values.

Hello Roy,
As per your request using the similar topic Jim mentioned above, please let us know if the following answer your request
Also to query the view in the same one command statement:

vsql -f tables_rows_count.sql
CREATE VIEW
      table_schema         | total_row_count
    ----------------------+-----------------
     DEMO_CODE_1     |                               4

     store                          |     11000001000
    (5 rows)

cat tables_rows_count.sql
\! vsql -XAtc "SELECT 'CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW public.my_tables AS SELECT table_schema, SUM(table_row_count) total_row_count FROM ('UNION ALL SELECT 'SELECT ''' || table_schema || ''' AS table_schema, (SELECT COUNT(1) FROM ' || table_schema || '.' || table_name || ') AS table_row_count' || DECODE(LEAD(table_name) OVER (ORDER BY 1), NULL, ') foo GROUP BY table_schema ORDER BY total_row_count;', ' UNION ALL') FROM tables WHERE table_definition = '';" | vsql && vsql -Xc "SELECT * FROM public.my_tables;"
