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.
