INTRODUCTION TO STREAMS

Streams are Snowflake objects that record data manipulation language (DML) changes made to tables*, including INSERTS, UPDATES, and DELETES, as well as metadata about each change. Thanks to this, actions can be taken using the changed data.
*Streams didn’t work with views; however, as a new feature of March 2022, Streams now support views and secure views!
