Usage notes¶

  • Latency for the view may be up to 180 minutes (3 hours).

  • The view only displays objects for which the current role for the session has been granted access privileges.

  • The view does not recognize the MANAGE GRANTS privilege and consequently may show less information compared to a SHOW command executed by a user who holds the MANAGE GRANTS privilege.

  • 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.

Examples¶

The following example joins this view with PIPE_USAGE_HISTORY view on the PIPE_ID column to track the credit usage associated with each unique PIPE object:

select a.PIPE_CATALOG as PIPE_CATALOG,
       a.PIPE_SCHEMA as PIPE_SCHEMA,
       a.PIPE_NAME as PIPE_NAME,
       b.CREDITS_USED as CREDITS_USED
from SNOWFLAKE.ACCOUNT_USAGE.PIPES a join SNOWFLAKE.ACCOUNT_USAGE.PIPE_USAGE_HISTORY b
on a.pipe_id = b.pipe_id
where b.START_TIME > date_trunc(month, current_date);
