Usage notes

  • After the account budget is activated:

    • You must set the spending limit in order for the budget to start tracking credit usage.

    • You must set up notifications for the budget. If you do not set up notifications for the budget, no notifications will be sent out.

  • This method is only available on the account budget. Custom budgets do not require activation.

  • Calling this method does not return the object. Because of this, you can’t use method chaining to call another method on the return value of this method. Instead, call each method in a separate SQL statement.

Example

Activate the account budget for your account:

CALL snowflake.local.account_root_budget!ACTIVATE();
