STAGES view (Information Schema and Account Usage): STAGE_TYPE populated for internal stages with SNOWFLAKE_SSE encryption (Pending)¶

Attention

This behavior change is in the 2026_07 bundle.

For the current status of the bundle, refer to Bundle history.

The STAGE_TYPE column in the STAGES view in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA schema and the STAGES view in the ACCOUNT_USAGE schema now returns Internal Named for internal stages that use SNOWFLAKE_SSE encryption, instead of returning NULL.

Before the change:: For an internal stage created with SNOWFLAKE_SSE encryption, the STAGE_TYPE column returned NULL in both the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STAGES view and the ACCOUNT_USAGE.STAGES view.
After the change:: When the 2026_07 behavior change bundle is enabled in your account, the STAGE_TYPE column returns Internal Named for an internal stage created with SNOWFLAKE_SSE encryption, consistent with other internal named stages.

This change corrects the STAGE_TYPE value reported for these stages. If you have queries or pipelines that filter on STAGE_TYPE IS NULL to identify these stages, update them to account for the corrected Internal Named value.
