SHOW SEQUENCES¶
Lists all the sequences for which you have access privileges. This command can be used to list the sequences for a specified schema or database (or the current schema/database for the session), or your entire account.

Syntax¶
SHOW SEQUENCES [ LIKE '<pattern>' ]
[ IN { ACCOUNT | [ DATABASE ] <db_name> | [ SCHEMA ] <schema_name> } ]
Parameters¶
LIKE 'pattern'
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%' ...
IN ACCOUNT | [ DATABASE ] db_name | [ SCHEMA ] schema_name
Specifies the scope of the command, which determines whether the command lists records only for the current/specified database or schema, or across your entire account:
The
DATABASE
orSCHEMA
keyword is not required; you can set the scope by specifying only the database or schema name. Likewise, the database or schema name is not required if the session currently has a database in use:If
DATABASE
orSCHEMA
is specified without a name and the session does not currently have a database in use, the parameter has no effect on the output.If
SCHEMA
is specified with a name and the session does not currently have a database in use, the schema name must be fully qualified with the database name (e.g.testdb.testschema
).
Default: Depends on whether the session currently has a database in use:
Database:
DATABASE
is the default (i.e. the command returns the objects you have privileges to view in the database).No database:
ACCOUNT
is the default (i.e. the command returns the objects you have privileges to view in your account).
Usage Notes¶
The command does not require a running warehouse to execute.
The command returns a maximum of 10K records for the specified object type, as dictated by the access privileges for the role used to execute the command; any records above the 10K limit are not returned, even with a filter applied.
To view results for which more than 10K records exist, query the corresponding view (if one exists) in the Snowflake Information Schema.
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.
