Feb 17, 2026: Access history improvements

Access history lets you monitor the SQL statements executed in Snowflake. It keeps track of the following types of statements:

  • Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements. For example, statements used to insert data into a table.

  • Data Query Language (DQL) statements. For example, statements that use a SELECT statement to project data.

  • Data Definition Language (DDL) statements. For example, statements that create or alter a Snowflake object.

Previously, records that were too large were excluded from the ACCESS_HISTORY view. Now, Snowflake truncates enough data for the record to fit in the view. Truncated records contain indicators where values have been truncated.

For more information, see Usage notes: Truncation.
