New features¶

Notifications for data quality incidents (Preview)¶

Snowflake can automatically send a notification when there is a data quality incident in a database. A data quality incident occurs when the return value of a data metric function (DMF) violates an expectation or constitutes an anomaly.

Notifications can be sent via email or through an external system like Slack, Teams, and PagerDuty.

Data governance updates¶

Copy tags when running a CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE command (Preview)¶

A new COPY TAGS parameter of the CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE command allows you to copy tags that are associated with the original table and its columns. The newly created table and its columns are associated with the same tags.
