Creating an Application Package Using SQL Commands

To generate an application package using SQL, employ the CREATE APPLICATION PACKAGE command, exemplified in the following instance:

CREATE APPLICATION PACKAGE HelloSnowflakePackage;

After creating an application package, use the SHOW APPLICATION PACKAGES command to view the list of available application packages.

Granting Privileges on an Application Package:

Certain tasks associated with the development of an application package necessitate specific privileges assigned to the application package. The following table outlines the privileges required for performing these tasks:

Privilege Task
ATTACH LISTING Add an application package to a listing.
DEVELOP Create an APPLICATION object in development mode from the application package.
INSTALL Create an APPLICATION object based on the application package.
MANAGE RELEASES Specify a release directive, view the version and patch level.
MANAGE VERSIONS Add a version and patch level to an application package.
OWNERSHIP Perform all tasks mentioned above.

Granting privileges on an application package to a role using SQL commands:
It involves using the GRANT command, illustrated in the following example:

GRANT MANAGE RELEASES ON APPLICATION PACKAGE HelloSnowflakePackage TO ROLE app_release_mgr;

This command bestows the MANAGE RELEASES privilege upon the app_release_mgr role. You can employ the identical command to confer other available privileges on an application package.
