UNDROP ACCOUNT

Restores a dropped account that has not yet been permanently deleted (a dropped account that is within its grace period).

To obtain a list of dropped accounts that can be restored, refer to Viewing dropped accounts.

Tip

In addition to SQL, you can also use other interfaces, such as Snowflake REST APIs, Snowflake Python APIs, and Snowflake CLI. See Alternate interfaces.

Syntax

UNDROP ACCOUNT <name>
Copy

Parameters

name

Specifies the name of the account being restored. As an example, if the full account identifier is myorg-account123, then specify account123 as the name.

The legacy account locator cannot be used to identify the account.

Usage notes

  • UNDROP relies on the Snowflake Time Travel feature. An object can be restored only if the object was deleted within the Data retention period. The default value is 24 hours.

Example

To restore the dropped account myaccount123, which was still within the grace period, enter:

UNDROP ACCOUNT myaccount123;
Copy
