SHOW APPLICATIONS¶
Lists the application objects for which you have access privileges across your entire account in the Snowflake Native App Framework.
The output returns metadata and properties for the application object, ordered lexicographically by name. This is important to note if you wish to filter the results using the provided filters.
Syntax¶
SHOW APPLICATIONS [ LIKE '<pattern>' ]
[ STARTS WITH '<name_string>' ]
[ LIMIT <rows> [ FROM '<name_string>' ] ];
Parameters¶
LIKE 'pattern'Optionally filters the command output by object name. The filter uses case-insensitive pattern matching, with support for SQL wildcard characters (
%and_).For example, the following patterns return the same results:
... LIKE '%testing%' ...... LIKE '%TESTING%' .... Default: No value (no filtering is applied to the output).
STARTS WITH 'name_string'Optionally filters the command output based on the characters that appear at the beginning of the object name. The string must be enclosed in single quotes and is case-sensitive.
For example, the following strings return different results:
... STARTS WITH 'B' ...... STARTS WITH 'b' .... Default: No value (no filtering is applied to the output)
LIMIT rows [ FROM 'name_string' ]Optionally limits the maximum number of rows returned, while also enabling “pagination” of the results. The actual number of rows returned might be less than the specified limit. For example, the number of existing objects is less than the specified limit.
The optional
FROM 'name_string'subclause effectively serves as a “cursor” for the results. This enables fetching the specified number of rows following the first row whose object name matches the specified string:The string must be enclosed in single quotes and is case-sensitive.
The string does not have to include the full object name; partial names are supported.
Default: No value (no limit is applied to the output)
Note
For SHOW commands that support both the
FROM 'name_string'andSTARTS WITH 'name_string'clauses, you can combine both of these clauses in the same statement. However, both conditions must be met or they cancel out each other and no results are returned.In addition, objects are returned in lexicographic order by name, so
FROM 'name_string'only returns rows with a higher lexicographic value than the rows returned bySTARTS WITH 'name_string'.For example:
... STARTS WITH 'A' LIMIT ... FROM 'B'would return no results.... STARTS WITH 'B' LIMIT ... FROM 'A'would return no results.... STARTS WITH 'A' LIMIT ... FROM 'AB'would return results (if any rows match the input strings).
Output¶
The command output provides application object properties and metadata in the following columns:
Column |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Date and time when the application object was created. |
|
The name of the application object. |
|
Specifies if the application object is in the default namespace for the user. |
|
Specifies if the application object is in the current session context. |
|
Specifies the source of the application object. Valid values are:
|
|
The name of the application package or listing used to create the application object. |
|
The role used to create the application object. |
|
Text that provides information about the application object. |
|
The version identifier used to create the application object. |
|
The version label of the application object. This label is visible to consumer when they install a Snowflake Native App. |
|
The patch number used to create the application object. |
|
For an application object, this field is always empty. |
|
The retention time of the application object. |
|
The current state of the background installation or upgrade of the application object. Valid values are:
|
Usage notes¶
The command doesn’t require a running warehouse to execute.
The command only returns objects for which the current user’s current role has been granted at least one access privilege.
The MANAGE GRANTS access privilege implicitly allows its holder to see every object in the account. By default, only the account administrator (users with the ACCOUNTADMIN role) and security administrator (users with the SECURITYADMIN role) have the MANAGE GRANTS privilege.
To post-process the output of this command, you can use the RESULT_SCAN function, which treats the output as a table that can be queried.
