Schemas:: ACCOUNT_USAGE , READER_ACCOUNT_USAGE

QUERY_HISTORY View¶

This Account Usage view can be used to query Snowflake query history by various dimensions (time range, session, user, warehouse, etc.) within the last 365 days (1 year).

The view is available in both the ACCOUNT_USAGE and READER_ACCOUNT_USAGE schemas with the following differences:

The following column is available only in the reader account view:
- READER_ACCOUNT_NAME
The following columns are not provided in the reader account view:
- CLUSTER_NUMBER
- BYTES_SCANNED
- ROWS_PRODUCED
- OUTBOUND_DATA_TRANSFER_CLOUD
- INBOUND_DATA_TRANSFER_CLOUD
- INBOUND_DATA_TRANSFER_REGION
- INBOUND_DATA_TRANSFER_BYTES
- QUERY_ACCELERATION_BYTES_SCANNED
- QUERY_ACCELERATION_PARTITIONS_SCANNED
- QUERY_ACCELERATION_UPPER_LIMIT_SCALE_FACTOR

BYTES_SPILLED_TO_REMOTE_STORAGE	NUMBER	Volume of data spilled to remote disk.
BYTES_SENT_OVER_THE_NETWORK	NUMBER	Volume of data sent over the network.
COMPILATION_TIME	NUMBER	Compilation time (in milliseconds)
EXECUTION_TIME	NUMBER	Execution time (in milliseconds)
QUEUED_PROVISIONING_TIME	NUMBER	Time (in milliseconds) spent in the warehouse queue, waiting for the warehouse compute resources to provision, due to warehouse creation, resume, or resize.
QUEUED_REPAIR_TIME	NUMBER	Time (in milliseconds) spent in the warehouse queue, waiting for compute resources in the warehouse to be repaired.
QUEUED_OVERLOAD_TIME	NUMBER	Time (in milliseconds) spent in the warehouse queue, due to the warehouse being overloaded by the current query workload.
TRANSACTION_BLOCKED_TIME	NUMBER	Time (in milliseconds) spent blocked by a concurrent DML.
OUTBOUND_DATA_TRANSFER_CLOUD	TEXT	Target cloud provider for statements that unload data to another region and/or cloud.
OUTBOUND_DATA_TRANSFER_REGION	TEXT	Target region for statements that unload data to another region and/or cloud.
OUTBOUND_DATA_TRANSFER_BYTES	NUMBER	Number of bytes transferred in statements that unload data to another region and/or cloud.

EXTERNAL_FUNCTION_TOTAL_RECEIVED_BYTES	NUMBER	The total number of bytes that this query received from all calls to all remote services.
QUERY_LOAD_PERCENT	NUMBER	The approximate percentage of active compute resources in the warehouse for this query execution.
IS_CLIENT_GENERATED_STATEMENT	BOOLEAN	Indicates whether the query was client-generated.
QUERY_ACCELERATION_BYTES_SCANNED	NUMBER	Number of bytes scanned by the query acceleration service.
QUERY_ACCELERATION_PARTITIONS_SCANNED	NUMBER	Number of partitions scanned by the query acceleration service.
QUERY_ACCELERATION_UPPER_LIMIT_SCALE_FACTOR	NUMBER	Upper limit scale factor that a query would have benefited from.
CHILD_QUERIES_WAIT_TIME	NUMBER	Time (in milliseconds) to complete the cached lookup when calling a memoizable function.
OWNER	TEXT	The name of the role that owns the role that was active in the session at the time of the query.
OWNER_ROLE_TYPE	TEXT	The type of role that owns the object, either `ROLE` or `DATABASE_ROLE`. Note that Snowflake returns NULL if you delete the object because there is no owner role for a deleted object.
TRANSACTION_ID	NUMBER	ID of the transaction that contains the statement or 0 if the statement is not executed within a transaction.
ROLE_TYPE	VARCHAR	Specifies whether a `ROLE` or `DATABASE_ROLE` executed the query.

1(1,2,3,4,5): These fields display data only for queries executed from January 18, 2020 onwards.

Usage Notes¶

Latency for the view may be up to 45 minutes.
The values for the columns EXTERNAL_FUNCTION_TOTAL_INVOCATIONS, EXTERNAL_FUNCTION_TOTAL_SENT_ROWS, EXTERNAL_FUNCTION_TOTAL_RECEIVED_ROWS, EXTERNAL_FUNCTION_TOTAL_SENT_BYTES, and EXTERNAL_FUNCTION_TOTAL_RECEIVED_BYTES are affected by many factors, including:
- The number of external functions in the SQL statement.
- The number of rows per batch sent to each remote service.
- The number of retries due to transient errors (e.g. because a response was not received within the expected time).
By default, the CHILD_QUERIES_WAIT_TIME column is not included in the output.

To include the column, you must enable the 2023_01 behavior change release bundle.

For information on enabling behavior change release bundles, see Behavior Change Management.
