SHOW APPLICATIONS

Lists the Snowflake Native Apps that you have access privileges for across your entire account.

The output returns metadata and properties for the app, ordered lexicographically by name. This is important to note if you want to filter the results using the provided filters.

Syntax

SHOW APPLICATIONS [ LIKE '<pattern>' ]
  [ STARTS WITH '<name_string>' ]
  [ LIMIT <rows> [ FROM '<name_string>' ] ];
Copy

Parameters

LIKE 'pattern'

Optionally 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%' ...

. Default: No value (no filtering is applied to the output).

STARTS WITH 'name_string'

Optionally filters the command output based on the characters that appear at the beginning of the object name. The string must be enclosed in single quotes and is case sensitive.

For example, the following strings return different results:

... STARTS WITH 'B' ...
... STARTS WITH 'b' ...

. Default: No value (no filtering is applied to the output)

LIMIT rows [ FROM 'name_string' ]

Optionally limits the maximum number of rows returned, while also enabling “pagination” of the results. The actual number of rows returned might be less than the specified limit. For example, the number of existing objects is less than the specified limit.

The optional FROM 'name_string' subclause effectively serves as a “cursor” for the results. This enables fetching the specified number of rows following the first row whose object name matches the specified string:

  • The string must be enclosed in single quotes and is case sensitive.

  • The string does not have to include the full object name; partial names are supported.

Default: No value (no limit is applied to the output)

Note

For SHOW commands that support both the FROM 'name_string' and STARTS WITH 'name_string' clauses, you can combine both of these clauses in the same statement. However, both conditions must be met or they cancel out each other and no results are returned.

In addition, objects are returned in lexicographic order by name, so FROM 'name_string' only returns rows with a higher lexicographic value than the rows returned by STARTS WITH 'name_string'.

For example:

  • ... STARTS WITH 'A' LIMIT ... FROM 'B' would return no results.

  • ... STARTS WITH 'B' LIMIT ... FROM 'A' would return no results.

  • ... STARTS WITH 'A' LIMIT ... FROM 'AB' would return results (if any rows match the input strings).

Output

The command output provides app properties and metadata in the following columns:

Column

Description

created_on

Date and time when the app was created.

name

The name of the app.

is_default

Specifies whether the app is in the default namespace for the user.

is_current

Specifies whether the app is in the current session context.

source_type

Specifies the source of the app. The following values are valid:

  • APPLICATION PACKAGE

  • LISTING

source

The name of the application package or listing used to create the app.

owner

The role used to create the app.

comment

Text that provides information about the app.

version

The version identifier used to create the app.

label

The version label of the app. This label is visible to consumers when they install an app.

patch

The patch number used to create the app.

options

For an app, this field is always empty.

retention_time

The retention time of the app.

upgrade_state

The current state of the background installation or upgrade of the app. The following values are valid:

  • INSTALLING: The application object is in the process of being created.

  • INSTALL_FAILED: The creation of the application object failed. The application object remains in the INSTALL_FAILED state until it is dropped. See the UPGRADE_FAILURE_REASON column of the DESCRIBE APPLICATION command for information about why the installation or upgrade failed.

  • COMPLETE: The setup script successfully completed and the application object was created or upgraded.

  • QUEUED: The application object is queued for upgrade.

  • UPGRADING: The application object is in the process of being upgraded.

  • FAILED: All upgrade attempts failed. The reason for the failure is listed in the UPGRADE_FAILURE_REASON column, if present. The instance remains in the FAILED state until a release directive is updated to point to a different version than the one that the upgrade was targeting, as defined in the TARGET_UPGRADE_VERSION column.

  • QUEUED_RETRY: The instance failed one or more upgrade attempts. The reason for the failure is indicated in UPGRADE_FAILURE_REASON: The instance is queued to perform another upgrade attempt.

  • DISABLED: The application object and its upgrades were disabled. In this state the instance will be inaccessible for consumers, it will not be considered for upgrades and will not block application package version drop. The reason for the failure is listed in the UPGRADE_FAILURE_REASON column, if present.

disablement_reasons

The reason why the app was disabled. For more information, see Disabled apps.

last_upgraded_on

The timestamp when the app was last upgraded.

release_channel_name

The name of the release channel used to create the app. If the app was not created from a release channel, the value of this property is default.

Usage notes

  • The command doesn’t require a running warehouse to execute.

  • The command only returns objects for which the current user’s current role has been granted at least one access privilege.

  • The MANAGE GRANTS access privilege implicitly allows its holder to see every object in the account. By default, only the account administrator (users with the ACCOUNTADMIN role) and security administrator (users with the SECURITYADMIN role) have the MANAGE GRANTS privilege.

  • To post-process the output of this command, you can use the pipe operator (->>) or the RESULT_SCAN function. Both constructs treat the output as a result set that you can query.

    The output column names for this command are generated in lowercase. If you consume a result set from this command with the pipe operator or the RESULT_SCAN function, use double-quoted identifiers for the column names in the query to ensure that they match the column names in the output that was scanned. For example, if the name of an output column is type, then specify "type" for the identifier.
