 Snowflake provides metadata views and table functions to query information about database objects, schemas, tables, columns, and query history. These views are available through two schemas:
 
-- **INFORMATION_SCHEMA** — a read-only schema present in every Snowflake database, scoped to that database's objects.
-- **ACCOUNT_USAGE** — available in the special `SNOWFLAKE` database, providing account-wide views that span all databases.

 The Snowflake emulator supports querying metadata views, allowing you to inspect the structure of your local Snowflake objects using the same SQL syntax as the Snowflake service.
