Apr 14, 2026: Snowflake storage for Apache Iceberg™ tables (Preview)¶

With this preview release, you can create Apache Iceberg™ tables that use Snowflake storage. This option lets Snowflake store and manage the Iceberg table files for you, so you don’t need to set up access to external cloud storage.

与标准 Snowflake 表一样，使用 Snowflake 存储的 Iceberg 表支持永久表的故障安全数据保护，并且可以设置为瞬态以降低存储成本。您还可以通过 Snowflake Horizon 目录使用外部查询引擎来访问这些表。
