Tracking Task History in Snowflake

Kevin Wilkie is interested in just one thing:

By the table function name, you’re probably wondering “Sherpa, why on Earth do I really need to look at query history based on the session? I have Query_History_By_User which gives me a broader look at my data. Who really cares?”

Great question, my friend! You’re right. This new Query_History_By_Session table function isn’t going to give you a lot of data that you can’t get easier – and more helpfully – with Query_History_By_User. Why did Snowflake provide me this “useless” function?

Read on for the value of this function and an example of querying task history.
