CHECK constraints on hybrid tables (General availability)
With this release, hybrid tables support CHECK constraints . Previously, CHECK constraints were limited to standard tables and Snowflake-managed Iceberg tables, so a hybrid table workload had to enforce value-level rules in application code.
Non-deterministic aggregate functions are supported with dynamic table incremental refresh (General availability)
Non-deterministic aggregate functions such as approx count distinct , approx percentile , and approx top k are now supported with dynamic table incremental refresh in INCREMENTAL, AUTO, and ADAPTIVE refresh modes. For incremental refresh, these functions are supported only in the SELECT clause. any value remains unsupported.
Improved data freshness for selected ORGANIZATION_USAGE history views
With this release, Snowflake has improved data freshness for the following premium views in the ORGANIZATION_USAGE schema. Typical data latency for these views is now under 15 minutes:
Apache Iceberg™ tables: Partition evolution (General availability)
With this release, we're pleased to announce the general availability of partition evolution for Snowflake-managed Iceberg tables. You can now change a table's partition specification after you create the table by adding, dropping, or replacing partition fields, without rewriting existing data.
HTML generation in Snowflake CoWork (Preview)
HTML generation is now available in preview as part of document generation in Snowflake CoWork. You can ask Snowflake CoWork to generate an HTML file from your analysis, the same way you generate a PDF or PowerPoint. Generation requires the Cortex Agent code execution tool on the associated agent.
Include and exclude per-user quota users by name (General availability)
Per-user quotas now accept individual user names, so you can add or remove specific users alongside the quota's tag scope. INCLUDE_USERS is new and takes user names directly, and EXCLUDE_USERS accepts a 'USER' argument alongside its existing 'TAG' form:
Elastic Channels for Snowpipe Streaming (General availability)
Elastic Channels for Snowpipe Streaming are now generally available. Elastic Channels provide one implicit, server-scaled ingestion path per pipe, so concurrent producers can stream directly to Snowflake tables and supported Snowflake-managed Iceberg tables without managing channel names, lifecycle, ordering, or offset tokens.
Zero-copy support for all table formats in interactive warehouses (General availability)
Support for all table formats in interactive warehouses is now generally available and is no longer in Preview .
Automations in Snowflake CoWork (General availability)
Automations in Snowflake CoWork are now generally available. An automation turns a one-time report into a recurring one: Snowflake CoWork re-runs your question with fresh data on the schedule you choose and emails you the results, including a summary and key metrics, along with a link that opens the full report so you can ask follow-up questions.
External secret providers (Preview)
External secret providers are now in preview. If your organization already keeps API keys, database passwords, and similar values in AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, or Google Cloud Secret Manager, Snowflake can read those values when a query needs them, so you don't have to maintain a second copy in a Snowflake secret .
Add and drop hybrid table constraints online (General availability)
With this release, you can add and drop UNIQUE and FOREIGN KEY constraints on an existing hybrid table by using alter table . Previously, you had to define these constraints when you created the table, so adding a foreign key to a table that was already serving a workload meant recreating and reloading the table.
SAS to Snowflake migration (Preview)
The Snowflake AIM Agent for Data Warehouses now supports migrating SAS workloads to Snowflake. This capability covers AI-assisted assessment of SAS codebases and AI-based code conversion of SAS programs to Snowflake SQL, including loading SAS dataset files ( .sas7bdat ) into Snowflake tables.

Organization user types (General availability)
With this release, you can specify whether an organization user represents a person or a service. Set the TYPE property to SERVICE for a service or application that interacts with Snowflake without human interaction. If you don't specify a type, the organization user is a PERSON user, which matches the previous behavior.
Remote Development with the Snowflake Extension for Visual Studio Code (Preview)
Remote Development with the Snowflake Extension for Visual Studio Code is now available in public preview.
Improved data freshness for ORGANIZATION_USAGE premium views
With this release, Snowflake has improved data freshness for most premium views in the ORGANIZATION_USAGE schema. Typical data latency is now under 3 hours. Many of these views previously had a latency of up to 24 hours.
Snowflake Data Clean Rooms updates
Clean room UI users: New updates are applied to the UI automatically when a user starts a new session after a new update is deployed. To ensure new updates are applied, make sure to log out and log back into the UI. Clean room API users: API updates are applied either manually or automatically to an account. Learn how to manage updates for Data Clean Rooms.
Data movement policies (General availability)
With this release, data movement policies are now generally available for Enterprise Edition (or higher). Data movement policies are part of Snowflake’s data exfiltration protection controls. These SQL-style conditional policies can help you limit, alert on, or block data movement operations based on specific movement types.
User skills in Snowflake CoWork (Preview)
User skills are now available in public preview in Snowflake CoWork. Business users can create reusable workflows conversationally, from the UI ( + menu > Skills > Create new ), or by uploading a skill folder on Capabilities > Skills , then run them explicitly with / or from the Skills menus, or implicitly when a conversation matches the skill.
New SNOWFLAKE_COCO_USAGE_HISTORY view in Account Usage and Organization Usage (General availability)
The SNOWFLAKE_COCO_USAGE_HISTORY view is now generally available in the ACCOUNT_USAGE and ORGANIZATION_USAGE schemas. It provides a unified view of usage history for CoCo across the CLI, Desktop, and Snowsight interfaces. The information in the view includes the number of credits consumed each time a user interacts with CoCo.
Feature policy rules (General availability)
With this release, we are pleased to announce the general availability of feature policy rules. A feature policy can carry a YAML body that conditionally blocks object creation based on attributes of the request. For example, you can permit tables in general but block temporary tables, or permit tasks but block serverless (no-warehouse) tasks.
CREATE OR ALTER support for dynamic Apache Iceberg™ tables
You can now use CREATE OR ALTER DYNAMIC ICEBERG TABLE to create a dynamic Apache Iceberg™ table if it doesn’t exist or alter an existing one in place. The statement represents the complete target state: properties you don’t specify reset to their default values, and the command doesn’t trigger a refresh by itself.
New POSTGRES_COMPUTE_USAGE_HISTORY view
The ACCOUNT_USAGE and ORGANIZATION_USAGE schemas now include a new POSTGRES_COMPUTE_USAGE_HISTORY view that provides visibility into the hourly compute credit usage for Postgres instances.
Amazon S3 Tables Iceberg REST catalog integration (General availability)
Snowflake can now connect directly to the Amazon S3 Tables Iceberg REST endpoint, so you don’t need to create an AWS Glue integration. This capability is now generally available.
DCM Projects (General availability)
DCM Projects are now generally available and are no longer in Preview . DCM Projects enable a declarative approach to managing Snowflake objects as code. You define the desired target state of your databases, tables, tasks, and other Snowflake objects in definition files, and Snowflake determines and applies the necessary changes to reach that state.
Automations in Snowflake CoWork (Public Preview)
Automations in Snowflake CoWork are now in Public Preview. An automation turns a one-time report into a recurring one: Snowflake CoWork re-runs your question with fresh data on the schedule you choose and emails you the results, including a summary and key metrics, along with a link that opens the full report so you can ask follow-up questions.
Multi-party Approval (General availability)
Multi-party Approval (MPA) is now generally available. When a Multi-party Approval policy is attached to your account, MPA enforces a mandatory second-person (“four-eyes”) verification step for critical account operations. A Multi-party Approval policy defines which operations require approval and who can approve them.
Inline Stored Procedures for hybrid tables (Public preview)
Inline Stored Procedures for hybrid tables are now available in public preview. Inline Stored Procedures are a new type of Snowflake stored procedure designed for operational workloads on hybrid tables.
Compute monitoring and run observability for Notebooks in Workspaces
With this release, Snowflake Notebooks in Workspaces gives you more visibility and control over the compute that runs your notebooks, both while you develop interactively and when you troubleshoot scheduled runs.
Adaptive refresh mode for dynamic tables (General availability)
ADAPTIVE refresh mode for dynamic tables is now generally available. ADAPTIVE refresh uses incremental refresh by default but automatically reinitializes the dynamic table when internal heuristics detect that the volume of upstream changes makes an incremental refresh significantly more expensive than a full refresh.
Data quality monitoring dashboard (Public preview)
The data quality monitoring dashboard is now available in public preview for Enterprise Edition accounts. The dashboard provides an account-wide view of data quality health in Snowsight.
AI code suggestions in Workspaces (General availability)
AI code suggestions in Cortex Code are now generally available. This release also includes updated keybindings and bug fixes. Notebook Python cells , no changes to keybindings.
