Tag Must Exist When Calling System Functions

Attention

This behavior change is in the 2023_01 bundle.

For the current status of the bundle, refer to Bundle History.

The behavior of the SYSTEM$GET_TAG_ON_CURRENT_COLUMN and SYSTEM$GET_TAG_ON_CURRENT_TABLE functions has changed as follows:

Previously:

If the tag did not exist, Snowflake allowed using these functions when creating or altering a masking policy or row access policy. The query on the protected column failed because the tag did not exist.

Currently:

The tag must exist when using these functions while creating a masking policy or row access policy. If the tag does not exist, Snowflake returns the following error message:

Tag '<tag_name>' does not exist or not authorized.
