New stage explorer in Snowsight — General availability

With this release, we are pleased to announce the general availability of the new stage explorer in Snowsight. When you load a staged file into a table, you can select the files directly from a stage explorer. In the stage explorer, you can select the stage root, or folders and files within the stage. You don’t need to navigate to the stage in the object explorer anymore, and you don’t need to copy and paste the path of the staged file when loading a staged file into a table.

For more information, see Loading data using the web interface.

Schema detection and visual column mapping for loading files to existing tables in Snowsight –— Preview

With this release, we are pleased to announce the preview of schema detection and visual column mapping for loading files into existing tables in Snowsight.

When you load files into an existing table in Snowsight, you can now visualize the column mapping between the source file and the target table. Use the UI to make adjustments as needed before loading.
