TAG_REFERENCES_ALL_COLUMNS¶

Returns a table in which each row displays the tag name and tag value assigned to a specific column.

This function returns every tag set on every column in a given table or view, whether the tag is directly assigned to a column or through tag lineage.

Syntax¶

TAG_REFERENCES_ALL_COLUMNS( '<object_name>' , '<object_domain>' )
Copy

Arguments¶

'object_name'

Name of the referenced object if the tag association is on the object.

This argument supports the names for tables and views.

'object_domain'

Domain of the referenced object.

Snowflake supports one domain for this function: TABLE.

Note that the domain TABLE must be used for all objects that contain columns, even if the object name is a view (i.e. view, materialized view).

Usage notes¶

  • Results are only returned for a role that has access to the specified object.

    To view references for system tags, use a role with IMPORTED PRIVILEGES on the shared SNOWFLAKE database.

  • When calling an Information Schema table function, the session must have an INFORMATION_SCHEMA schema in use or the function must use the fully-qualified object name. For more details, see Snowflake Information Schema.
