Snowflake’s Time Travel feature does not apply to stored procedures
✅ Looking up old versions of stored procedures must be done outside Snowflake. ✅ Consider keeping a master copy of each stored procedure’s CREATE PROCEDURE command in a source code control system. ✅ If a source code control system is not available, you can partly

Improving performance with Snowflake Clustering
Here is an example of performance improvements we’ve obtained using Snowflake Clustering. The before join between a 9.4 TB, 35.4 billion row table with a 1.5 TB, 1.8 billion row table ran in 1:14:57 and costs $11.99 in compute credits. After clustering both tables, the
Snowflake Role Hierarchies
Take advantage of SNOWFLAKE role hierarchies to align access to database objects with business functions in your organization. ✅ In a role hierarchy, roles are granted to other roles to form an inheritance relationship. ✅ Permissions granted to roles at a lower level are inherited
