PROCEDURES view¶

This Information Schema view displays a row for each stored procedure defined in the specified (or current) database.

For more information about stored procedures, see Stored procedures overview.

Columns¶

Column Name	Data Type	Description
PROCEDURE_CATALOG	TEXT	Database that the stored procedure belongs to.
PROCEDURE_SCHEMA	TEXT	Schema that the stored procedure belongs to.
PROCEDURE_NAME	TEXT	Name of the stored procedure.
PROCEDURE_OWNER	TEXT	Name of the role that owns the stored procedure.
ARGUMENT_SIGNATURE	TEXT	Type signature of the stored procedure’s arguments.
DATA_TYPE	TEXT	Return value data type.
CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH	NUMBER	Maximum length of string return value, in characters.
CHARACTER_OCTET_LENGTH	NUMBER	Maximum length of string return value, in bytes.
NUMERIC_PRECISION	NUMBER	Numeric precision of numeric return value.
NUMERIC_PRECISION_RADIX	NUMBER	Radix of precision of numeric return value.
NUMERIC_SCALE	NUMBER	Scale of numeric return value.
PROCEDURE_LANGUAGE	TEXT	Programming language of the stored procedure.
PROCEDURE_DEFINITION	TEXT	Definition of the stored procedure.
CREATED	TIMESTAMP_LTZ	Creation time of the stored procedure.
LAST_ALTERED	TIMESTAMP_LTZ	Date and time the object was last altered by a DML, DDL, or background metadata operation. See Usage Notes.
COMMENT	TEXT	Comment for this stored procedure.
EXTERNAL_ACCESS_INTEGRATIONS	VARCHAR	Names of external access integrations specified by the procedure’s EXTERNAL_ACCESS_INTEGRATION parameter.
SECRETS	JSON map	Map of secrets specified by the procedure’s SECRETS parameter, where map keys are secret variable names and map values are secret object names.
OWNER_ROLE_TYPE	TEXT	The type of role that owns the object, for example `ROLE`. . If a Snowflake Native App owns the object, the value is `APPLICATION`. . Snowflake returns NULL if you delete the object because a deleted object does not have an owner role.

Usage notes¶

The view only displays objects for which the current role for the session has been granted access privileges. The view does not honor the MANAGE GRANTS privilege and consequently may show less information compared to a SHOW command when both are 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.
