Are tables considered unique database objects in Snowflake?

True
False
Only with certain access permissions
Only for external tables

The correct answer is: False

In Snowflake, tables are not considered unique database objects because multiple tables can exist within the same database or schema, potentially sharing the same name as long as they are in different schemas. This structure allows for better organization and management of data, as different teams or applications may need to work with tables having similar structures or purposes without causing naming conflicts. The idea of uniqueness typically applies to the table's context within a specific schema or database. Since the same table name can exist in different schemas, it indicates that tables themselves are not singularly unique objects within the environment; rather, their uniqueness is contextual to their schema or database. Thus, stating that tables in Snowflake are unique database objects is inaccurate because it overlooks the flexibility inherent in the database management system that allows for multiple tables with the same name across different schemas.
