Snowflake - Databases

Every time you create a database, Snowflake will automatically create two schemas for you.

  • The INFORMATION_SCHEMA schema holds a collection of views.  
  • The INFORMATION_SCHEMA schema cannot be deleted (dropped), renamed, or moved.

  • The PUBLIC schema is created empty and you can fill it with tables, views and other things over time.
  • The PUBLIC schema can be dropped, renamed, or moved at any time. 
Note: 
  • By default the database created with ACCOUNTADMIN role.
  • ACCOUNTADMIN owns the SYSADMIN role, so it has ownership rights also, but indirectly.
