SHOW SNAPSHOT SETS¶

Lists all the snapshot sets for which you have access privileges. The scope of this command can be your entire account, or a specified database or schema.

See also:

CREATE SNAPSHOT SET, ALTER SNAPSHOT SET, DROP SNAPSHOT SET

Syntax¶

SHOW SNAPSHOT SETS
   [ LIKE '<pattern>' ]
   [ IN { ACCOUNT | DATABASE | DATABASE <db_name> | SCHEMA | SCHEMA <schema_name> } ]
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).

[ IN { ACCOUNT | DATABASE | DATABASE db_name | SCHEMA | SCHEMA schema_name } ]

If you specify the keyword ACCOUNT, then the command retrieves records for all schemas in all databases of the current account.

If you specify the keyword DATABASE, then:

  • If you specify a db_name, then the command retrieves records for all schemas of the specified database.

  • If you don’t specify a db_name, then:

    • If there is a current database, then the command retrieves records for all schemas in the current database.

    • If there is no current database, then the command retrieves records for all databases and schemas in the account.

If you specify the keyword SCHEMA, then:

  • If you specify a qualified schema name (for example, my_database.my_schema), then the command retrieves records for the specified database and schema.

  • If you specify an unqualified schema_name, then:

    • If there is a current database, then the command retrieves records for the specified schema in the current database.

    • If there is no current database, then the command displays the error SQL compilation error: Object does not exist, or operation cannot be performed.

  • If you don’t specify a schema_name, then:

    • If there is a current database, then:

      • If there is a current schema, then the command retrieves records for the current schema in the current database.

      • If there is no current schema, then the command retrieves records for all schemas in the current database.

    • If there is no current database, then the command retrieves records for all databases and all schemas in the account.

Usage notes¶

  • The command returns a maximum of ten thousand records for the specified object type, as dictated by the access privileges for the role used to execute the command. Any records above the ten thousand records limit aren’t returned, even with a filter applied.

    To view results for which more than ten thousand records exist, query the corresponding view (if one exists) in the Snowflake Information Schema.
