Join Index

Translation reference to convert Teradata Join Index to Snowflake Dynamic Table

Description

In Snowconvert, Teradata Join Indexes 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.
