Unbundled Behavior Changes¶
Unbundled bevahior changes are not associated or released with a behavior change bundle.
To help you manage your operations and minimize disruption to your Snowflake service, we document behavior changes that may impact your usage, including:
Upcoming pending changes that will not be part of a behavior change bundle and cannot be enabled in advance.
Recently implemented changes that were previously pending/disabled, were not part of a behavior change bundle, and cannot be disabled.
If you have questions about any of these behavior changes, please feel free to contact Snowflake Support.
