Week 80 - Data Loading & Staging

Just ten days ago Snowflake announced the general availability of creating a new table when loading a file in Snowsight. How? By using the INFER_SCHEMA table function to automatically detect the file metadata schema, retrieve the column definitions, and generate a new table.

All you need to do is:

  1. Log on to Snowsight.
  2. Go to the "Data" section in the navigation menu, then select "Databases."
  3. Choose a specific database and schema you want to work with.
  4. Click "Create."
  5. In the drop-down menu, select "Table" and then choose "From File."

And voila, you'll discover how cool this new feature is! It will certainly save you time!
