MSCINF0002
Statement references multiple objects
This is a deprecated version of the SnowConvert documentation, please visit the official site HERE.
Severity
None
Description
Materialized views in Snowflake cannot query more than a single object. If SnowConvert would produce a CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW that has more than one object reference (tables, views, result sets...), then the materialized behavior wouldn't be supported.
In most cases, SnowConvert automatically detects this issue, adds an informative EWI to the problematic object, and outputs a regular CREATE VIEW object instead.
Code Example
Input Code:
-- This SQL Server MATERIALIZED VIEW references dbo.Categories and dbo.Products,
-- thus making it a non-valid Snowflake MATERIALIZED VIEW
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW dbo.MyMaterializedView
AS
SELECT
*
FROM
dbo.Categories c
JOIN
dbo.Products p ON c.CategoryID = p.CategoryID
GROUP BY
c.CategoryID,
c.CategoryName;
Output Code:
/*** MSC-INFORMATION - MSCINF0002 - CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW REFERENCES MULTIPLE OBJECTS. SNOWFLAKE MATERIALIZED VIEWS CANNOT QUERY MORE THAN A SINGLE OBJECT. ***/
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW dbo.MyMaterializedView
AS
SELECT
*
FROM
dbo.Categories c
JOIN
dbo.Products p
ON c.CategoryID = p.CategoryID
GROUP BY
c.CategoryID,
c.CategoryName;
Recommendations
Remember that access to materialized views in SnowFlake requires Enterprise Edition or higher.
