REPLICATION_DATABASES view

This Information Schema view displays a row for each primary and secondary database (i.e. database for which replication has been enabled) in your organization.

Note

This view uses Snowflake terminology of “database”, whereas other Information Schema views use the standard INFORMATION_SCHEMA terminology of “catalog”. The two terms have the same meaning.

Usage notes

  • The view only displays objects for which the current role for the session has been granted access privileges. The view does not honor the MANAGE GRANTS privilege and consequently may show less information compared to a SHOW command when both are executed by a user who holds the MANAGE GRANTS privilege.
