                                                                     ;

Recommendations

• For the description option in the create table options clause which is a user-friendly description of the table, in Snowflake exists a comment clause that adds a comment or overwrites an existing comment for an existing object. These may have similar functionalities to be considered.

• Add manual changes to the not transformed expression.
