Announcing Input Tables: Your Warehouse, Now with Your Data

In 2023, despite advancements in cloud data warehouses, companies continue to rely on spreadsheets for data-driven decision-making due to their simplicity and familiarity. To bridge this gap, input tables have been developed as a user interface enabling users to create and manage tables directly within the data warehouse, thus harnessing the power of cloud technology. These tables allow for seamless data entry, what-if analysis, and context capture, facilitating live collaboration while ensuring performance exceeds that of traditional warehouses. With input tables, data governance is enhanced through built-in security controls and audit capabilities, maintaining data integrity within the warehouse. Currently available for Snowflake connections, input tables offer a scalable solution for integrating user-managed data within a governed framework, with plans to expand compatibility to other data warehouses.
