Organization Usage performance

When you query a specific view in the SNOWFLAKE.ORGANIZATION_USAGE schema, follow the organization-wide guidance in Performance (Organization Usage): bound every scan on history views, list columns explicitly, and use the time filter column table plus worked SQL and anti-patterns there.

This Organization Usage view displays a row for each schema in an account except the READER_ACCOUNT_USAGE, and INFORMATION_SCHEMA schemas.

Usage notes

  • Latency for the view may be up to 24 hours.
  • The view only displays objects for which the current role for the session has been granted access privileges.

  • The LAST_ALTERED column is updated when the following operations are performed on an object:

    • DDL operations.
    • DML operations (for tables only). This column is updated even when no rows are affected by the DML statement.
    • Background maintenance operations on metadata performed by Snowflake.
