An Iceberg or Delta Lake Datalake can consist of one or more databases, and each database can consist of many tables.

The DBC.SERVERV and DBC.DATALAKEINFOV views can be used to list the current Datalakes registered in the database.

HELP statements can be used to discover the databases, tables and table schema in a data lake.
