SSC-FDM-0004
External table translated to regular table
Description
This warning is added to clauses related to external handling, this is because in Snowflake the data storage is not a concern and does not need external tables. Instead, all data should be managed inside the Snowflake data storage. For more information on this subject, you can consult here for snowflake considerations on data storage.
Code Example
Input Code:
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ext_csv_file (
id INT,
name TEXT,
age INT,
city TEXT
)
LOCATION (
'gpfdist://192.168.1.100:8080/data/my_data.csv'
)
FORMAT 'CSV' (DELIMITER ',' HEADER);
Output Code:
--** SSC-FDM-0004 - EXTERNAL TABLE TRANSLATED TO REGULAR TABLE **
CREATE TABLE ext_csv_file (
id INT,
name TEXT,
age INT,
city TEXT
)
COMMENT = '{ "origin": "sf_sc", "name": "snowconvert", "version": { "major": 0, "minor": 0, "patch": "0" }, "attributes": { "component": "greenplum", "convertedOn": "07/09/2025", "domain": "no-domain-provided" }}'
;
Recommendations
The data stored in files of the external tables must be somehow moved into the Snowflake database.
