Data lake updates¶

Catalog-linked databases: Auto-refresh for Apache Iceberg™ table creation¶

We now leverage auto-refresh for Iceberg table creation in catalog-linked databases to improve metadata consistency. Note that this change will cause table creation to contribute to your auto-refresh service billing.

Table optimization for Snowflake-managed Apache Iceberg™ tables (General availability)¶

Table optimization for Snowflake-managed Apache Iceberg™ tables is now generally available. This update includes enabling billing for the data compaction. We will start billing for these features on October 20, 2025.

For more information, see Table optimization for Snowflake-managed Iceberg tables.

Replication updates¶

Snowflake Notebooks replication (General availability)¶

With this release, Snowflake introduces replication for Snowflake Notebooks. Notebooks will now be replicated when they are part of a database included in a replication or failover group. When a secondary failover group is promoted to primary, all contained objects, including notebooks, become writable in the new primary account.

Note

Notebooks are not replicated unless you have enabled the 2025_07 behavior change bundle.

For more information, see Notebook replication.
