CREATE IMAGE REPOSITORY¶

Syntax¶

CREATE [ OR REPLACE ] IMAGE REPOSITORY [ IF NOT EXISTS ] <name>

Parameters¶

name

Specifies the identifier (that is, the name) for the image repository; it must be unique for the schema in which the repository is created.

Quoted names for special characters or case-sensitive names are not supported. The same constraint also applies to database and schema names where you create an image repository. That is, database and schema names without quotes are valid when creating an image repository.

Access control requirements¶

A role used to execute this SQL command must have the following privileges at a minimum:

Note that operating on any object in a schema also requires the USAGE privilege on the parent database and schema.

For instructions on creating a custom role with a specified set of privileges, see Creating custom roles.

For general information about roles and privilege grants for performing SQL actions on securable objects, see Overview of Access Control.

Usage notes¶

• Regarding metadata:

  Attention

  Customers should ensure that no personal data (other than for a User object), sensitive data, export-controlled data, or other regulated data is entered as metadata when using the Snowflake service. For more information, see Metadata fields in Snowflake.

• CREATE OR REPLACE <object> statements are atomic. That is, when an object is replaced, the old object is deleted and the new object is created in a single transaction.

Examples¶

Create an image repository:

CREATE OR REPLACE IMAGE REPOSITORY tutorial_repository;
