Hey GoodData! I wanted to confirm that Snowflake dynamic tables aren’t currently supported. Any chance they are on the roadmap to be supported soon? Sorry! This is already supported, it was a permission issue on my end.
I guess in the meantime a potential workaround is to just slap a view on top of any dynamic tables.

Hi Michael, it may be possible to build something using SDK and custom visualizations. However, could you explain your use case a bit more and how you would use dynamic tables with GoodData?

Hi Joseph, I believe Michael is not interested in any dynamic kind of front-end visualization, but rather “dynamic tables as a Snowflake feature” that allows to encapsulate data transformations with regular refresh into a specific type of Snowflake table, I assume these tables are currently not visible/usable in the GD modeller. Maybe @Jan Soubusta would know if there is a plan to support them any time soon? And in the meantime a view should do the trick.

We can fix it quickly, we release every day. @Michael Gray may I kindly ask you to send me what you see in the column TABLE_TYPE if you SELECT the dynamic table from INFORMATION_SCHEMA?

Hey Jan, awesome!! If I select a dynamic table from the information schema, it has a TABLE_TYPE of 
BASE TABLE
and the IS_DYNAMIC field is 
YES
let me know if I can help further!
j
Well, that's strange. We already support base tables. Looks like JDBC does not propagate them correctly. Will test it. I am now attending the Snowflake Summit, so I can ask for help 😉

I just tested it in my organization. I created a dynamic table like this:
Copy code
create table test as select 1 as a;

create dynamic table test_dyn
    TARGET_LAG = '1 minute'
    WAREHOUSE = DEMO_WH
    as
        select * from test;
Then I opened our LDM Modeler UI app and refreshed the corresponding data source. I can see both TEST and TEST_DYN tables in the left panel.

AHHHHHH, my apologies! This was a permission issue on my end. I am seeing my dynamic table now after granting the appropriate permission on my good data user
