The Information Schema and Account Usage Share in Snowflake provide metadata and historical usage data for various objects within a Snowflake account. Specifically, they offer storage information for Tables, Databases, and Internal Stages. These schemas contain views and table functions that allow users to query object metadata and usage metrics, such as the amount of data stored and historical activity.
Tables: The storage information includes data on the daily average amount of data in database tables.
Databases: For databases, the storage usage is calculated based on all the data contained within the database, including tables and stages.
Internal Stages: Internal stages are locations within Snowflake for temporarily storing data, and their storage usage is also tracked.
