What is the default Time Travel data retention period?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The default Time Travel retention period for most objects in Snowflake is1 day(24 hours). Time Travel enables access to historical versions of data after updates, deletes, or drops. It also allows cloning databases, schemas, and tables at previous points in time, and recovering dropped objects.

While Snowflake Enterprise Edition and higher tiers allow retention periods up to 90 days, this extended window is not the default---administrators must explicitly configure it for each table, schema, or database.

Retention periods of 7, 45, or 90 days are possible only with higher service editions; the default for all accounts and objects remains 1 day unless explicitly overridden.

D) 90 days, of course. Unless you're a time traveler yourself, in which case, what's the point?

I'm going with D) 90 days. Anything less and you might as well not have time travel at all.

D) 90 days is the way to go. Who needs time travel data older than that anyway?

I've got a good feeling about option A. 45 days sounds right, but I'll double-check my understanding just to be safe.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. I thought it was 45 days, but now I'm second-guessing myself. I'll have to review my notes to be sure.
