Are Snowflake Directory Tables the same as External Tables on Snowflake?
Frank Bell Answered question June 17, 2022
No. Snowflake Directory Tables are implicit objects layered onto a Snowflake Stage Object while External Tables are actually their own separate object where privileges can be granted to. I guess theoretically they are similar in that that they store file-level metadata about data files in a Snowflake Stage.
