Collation support on Snowflake-managed Apache Iceberg™ tables (General availability)

Collation is now supported on Snowflake-managed Apache Iceberg™ tables. Collation determines how string values are compared and sorted, for example enabling case-insensitive or locale-aware operations. Use the new ICEBERG_DEFAULT_DDL_COLLATION parameter to set a default collation for new string columns, applying only to Snowflake-managed Iceberg tables, at the account, database, schema, or table level.
