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

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).
