Description

In Snowconvert, Materialized Views are transformed into Snowflake Dynamic Tables. To properly configure Dynamic Tables, two essential parameters must be defined: TARGET_LAG and WAREHOUSE. If these parameters are left unspecified in the configuration options, Snowconvert will default to preassigned values during the conversion, as demonstrated in the example below.
