Usage Notes¶

  • Latency for the view may be up to 180 minutes (3 hours).

  • The view displays all of the databases in the account.

  • The view does not recognize the MANAGE GRANTS privilege and consequently may show less information compared to a SHOW command executed by a user who holds the MANAGE GRANTS privilege.

  • The LAST_ALTERED column is updated when the following operations are performed on an object:

    • DDL operations.

    • DML operations (for tables only).

    • Background maintenance operations on metadata performed by Snowflake.
