Semantic view sharing¶

Semantic views (also known as semantic models) provide a mechanism to give additional context to Snowflake schemas to help generate highly accurate SQL from natural language. This is useful for Cortex Analyst to be able to generate and execute SQL from natural language prompts or from Cortex Agents.

Providers can share semantic views in a listing on the Snowflake Marketplace via a private listing or an organizational listing.

Create a semantic view¶

You can use the Snowflake UI or SQL commands to create a semantic view. The Snowflake UI is the recommended method for creating semantic views.

Follow the steps in Getting started to create a semantic view.
