[[esql-keep]]
|
|
=== `KEEP`
|
|
|
|
**Syntax**
|
|
|
|
[source,esql]
|
|
----
|
|
KEEP columns
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
*Parameters*
|
|
`columns`::
|
|
A comma-separated list of columns to keep. Supports wildcards.
|
|
|
|
*Description*
|
|
|
|
The `KEEP` processing command enables you to specify what columns are returned
|
|
and the order in which they are returned.
|
|
|
|
*Examples*
|
|
|
|
The columns are returned in the specified order:
|
|
|
|
[source.merge.styled,esql]
|
|
----
|
|
include::{esql-specs}/docs.csv-spec[tag=keep]
|
|
----
|
|
[%header.monospaced.styled,format=dsv,separator=|]
|
|
|===
|
|
include::{esql-specs}/docs.csv-spec[tag=keep-result]
|
|
|===
|
|
|
|
Rather than specify each column by name, you can use wildcards to return all
|
|
columns with a name that matches a pattern:
|
|
|
|
[source,esql]
|
|
----
|
|
include::{esql-specs}/docs.csv-spec[tag=keepWildcard]
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The asterisk wildcard (`*`) by itself translates to all columns that do not
|
|
match the other arguments. This query will first return all columns with a name
|
|
that starts with `h`, followed by all other columns:
|
|
|
|
[source,esql]
|
|
----
|
|
include::{esql-specs}/docs.csv-spec[tag=keepDoubleWildcard]
|
|
