Snowflake itself is really strong at reporting task schedules and history. If you ever use the TASK_HISTORY table function, you can even view the NEXT_SCHEDULED_TIME for each scheduled task. However, it is common to be in a situation where you are leveraging another tool for your pipeline orchestration,...
In another post earlier this year, we discussed how to store the results of a Snowflake SHOW/LIST/DESCRIBE metadata command in a table. Refresher To refresh our memory, in Snowflake, there are several commands that can be used to retrieve metadata from the Snowflake environment without using a...
We've made it to the tail end of 2022. Holiday season is upon us, and it's fitting that Snowflake is the most blogged about topic for us to share in this edition of the InterWorks Blog Roundup — we randomly had a night of golfball-sized...
