Get Glue Data Catalog Name/ID

Question

How do I get the name or ID of the/my data catalog in Glue?

Answer

Hello,

AWS Glue Catalog ID is the AWS account ID. This is mentioned on our AWS Docs here [1] as well -

```
Each AWS account has a single Data Catalog in an AWS Region with the 12-digit account ID as the catalog ID.
```

Additionally, in regards to querying the Glue Data Catalog metadata, you can leverage SQL queries in Athena as mentioned here on our AWS Docs [2].

```
To obtain AWS Glue Catalog metadata, you query the information_schema database on the Athena backend.
```
