Built-in Functions

This page provides a description of the translation for the built-in functions in Teradata to Snowflake

This page only lists the functions that are already transformed by SnowConvert, if a function from the Teradata documentation is not listed there then it should be taken as unsupported.

Some Teradata functions do not have a direct equivalent in Snowflake so they are transformed into a functional equivalent UDF, these can be easily spotted by the _UDF postfix in the name of the function. For more information on the UDFs SnowConvert uses check this git repository.
