Snowflake’s zero-copy cloning feature provides a convenient way to quickly take a “snapshot” of any table, schema, or database and create a derived copy of that object which initially shares the underlying storage. This can be extremely useful for creating instant backups that do not incur any additional costs (until changes are made to the cloned object).

In this video, we will review the high-level design of Snowflake, how that involves cloned objects, create a cloned database and review the impact on permissions.
