SHOW GLOBAL ACCOUNTS

Lists all the accounts in your organization that are enabled for replication and indicates the Snowflake Region in which each account is located.

Currently, linking accounts in your organization for replication requires assistance from Snowflake Support.

Syntax

SHOW GLOBAL ACCOUNTS [ LIKE '<pattern>' ]
Copy

Parameters

LIKE 'pattern'

Optionally filters the command output by object name. The filter uses case-insensitive pattern matching, with support for SQL wildcard characters (% and _).

For example, the following patterns return the same results:

... LIKE '%testing%' ...
... LIKE '%TESTING%' ...

. Default: No value (no filtering is applied to the output).

Output

The command output provides global account properties and metadata in the following columns:

Column

Description

region_group

Region group where the account is located.

snowflake_region

Snowflake Region where the account is located. A Snowflake Region is a distinct location within a cloud platform region that is isolated from other Snowflake Regions. A Snowflake Region can be either multi-tenant or single-tenant (for a Virtual Private Snowflake account).

created_on

Date and time when the account was created.

name

Name of the account.

comment

Comment for the account.

is_org_admin

Indicates whether the ORGADMIN role is enabled in an account. If TRUE, the role is enabled.

Usage notes

  • The command doesn’t require a running warehouse to execute.

  • The command only returns objects for which the current user’s current role has been granted at least one access privilege.

  • The MANAGE GRANTS access privilege implicitly allows its holder to see every object in the account. By default, only the account administrator (users with the ACCOUNTADMIN role) and security administrator (users with the SECURITYADMIN role) have the MANAGE GRANTS privilege.

  • To post-process the output of this command, you can use the RESULT_SCAN function, which treats the output as a table that can be queried.

  • The command returns a maximum of ten thousand records for the specified object type, as dictated by the access privileges for the role used to execute the command. Any records above the ten thousand records limit aren’t returned, even with a filter applied.

    To view results for which more than ten thousand records exist, query the corresponding view (if one exists) in the Snowflake Information Schema.
