August 08, 2024 — Snowflake Data Clean Rooms Release Notes¶

With this release, we are pleased to announce the availability of the following new features and enhancements in this update to Snowflake Data Clean Rooms.

Support for external tables and Apache Iceberg™ tables¶

Providers and consumers can now include external tables and Apache Iceberg™ tables in a clean room.

This support also allows Snowflake to use external tables when a collaborator uses a third-party connector to access data from external cloud storage, which eliminates problems associated with materializing large datasets.

For more information about including external tables and Iceberg tables in a clean room, see Snowflake Data Clean Rooms: External and Iceberg tables.

Integration with TransUnion TruAudience Identity¶

Providers and consumers can now use TransUnion’s latest TruAudience Identity solution when creating or installing a clean room in the web app, which allows them to use the TransUnion identity graph to match records based on a collaboration ID.

For more information, see the following:

If you are an administrator who is configuring the connector so clean room users can leverage TruAudience Identity, see TransUnion TruAudience Identity connector.
If you are a clean room user who is using the Identity Hub during clean room creation or installation, see Identity Hub: TransUnion TruAudience Identity.
