Question

Is there a way to create a Lakeformation Resource Link to a database/table through Boto3 client. I am creating a database using glue_client.create_database() function. Now , I need to create a Lakeformation Resource Link Pointing to that database.

Accepted Answer

Based on this AWS CLI [example](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lake-formation/latest/dg/create-resource-link-table.html) you can use the [create_table()](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/glue.html#Glue.Client.create_table) to create a resource link. Just populate the **TargetTable** section.

**AWS CLI**
```
aws glue create-table --database-name myissues --table-input '{"Name":"mycustomers","TargetTable":{"CatalogId":"111122223333","DatabaseName":"issues","Name":"customers"}}'
```
**Boto3** (Just the TargetTable section, refer [create_table()](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/glue.html#Glue.Client.create_table) for details)

```
'TargetTable': {
            'CatalogId': '111122223333',
            'DatabaseName': 'issues',
            'Name': 'customers'
        }
```
