SVV_TABLES
Use SVV_TABLES to view tables in local and external catalogs.
SVV_TABLES is visible to all users by default. To control access to your database's metadata, enable metadata security for your provisioned cluster or serverless workgroup. Metadata security lets you separate view permissions for object metadata by users and roles. For more information, see Metadata security.
For more information about best practices when querying system tables and views, see Querying System Tables.
Note
Use the SHOW TABLES command for table discovery. SHOW TABLES works consistently across local, datashare, and external catalog contexts and is updated as new features are released. For more information, see Best practices for discovering metadata.
