# Update table schema metadata

`POST /v1/table/{id}/schema_metadata/update`

Replace the schema metadata for table `id` with the provided key-value pairs.

REST NAMESPACE ONLY
REST namespace uses a direct object (map of string to string) as both request and response body
instead of the wrapped `UpdateTableSchemaMetadataRequest` and `UpdateTableSchemaMetadataResponse`.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Query parameters

- `delimiter` string

## Request body

- unknown

## Response `200`

Schema metadata update result

- unknown

## Other responses

- `400` — Indicates a bad request error. It could be caused by an unexpected request body format or other forms of request validation failure, such as invalid json. Usually serves application/json content, although in some cases simple text/plain content might be returned by the server's middleware.
- `401` — Unauthorized. The request lacks valid authentication credentials for the operation.
- `403` — Forbidden. Authenticated user does not have the necessary permissions.
- `404` — A server-side problem that means can not find the specified resource.
- `503` — The service is not ready to handle the request. The client should wait and retry. The service may additionally send a Retry-After header to indicate when to retry.
- `5XX` — A server-side problem that might not be addressable from the client side. Used for server 5xx errors without more specific documentation in individual routes.
