SQL updates¶

PERIOD data type (Preview)¶

With this release, Snowflake is pleased to announce the public preview of the PERIOD data type. A PERIOD value stores an anchored, half-open temporal range [begin, end): an inclusive beginning bound and an exclusive ending bound of the same element type. Unlike interval types, which represent a duration with no fixed location in time, a PERIOD value identifies a specific range on the timeline, such as an employment window or a version validity interval. The beginning and ending bounds can be DATE, TIME, or TIMESTAMP values.

A family of PERIOD_* functions constructs PERIOD values, accesses their beginning and ending bounds, compares two ranges, and combines ranges.
