Which schema hosts the Warehouse Metering History table used for credential queries?

• A. Account Usage
• B. Information Schema
• C. Public
• D. Sys

Answer: (A)

Snowflake stores usage and metering data in a built-in shared schema called ACCOUNT_USAGE, which provides historical metrics about warehouses and other account-wide activity. The Warehouse Metering History table is part of this schema, making it the designated place to run credential-related queries about warehouse usage. Other schemas serve different purposes: Information Schema holds object metadata, Public is a user namespace for your objects, and Sys contains system-level objects. To query this table, you typically use a statement like SNOWFLAKE.ACCOUNT_USAGE.WAREHOUSE_METERING_HISTORY, with the appropriate USAGE/SELECT privileges, noting that there can be a short data lag.
