App Release Notes

21.05.2026

Improvements

  • A new procedure for switching transient tables to standard tables was created:

  core.switch_trans_to_standard_table(P_DB, P_SOURCE, P_TABLE)

  (see the API Tables documentation page for more details)

  • RELY constraints will now be automatically added for newly created merge tables to improve performance.

For existing merge tables, please run the redeploy_merge procedure.

  • Newly created merge tasks will now automatically handle the Archive flag (GLDELFLAG = 'A').

  Please remove this flag from your Snowflake App settings if it is currently configured there.

  For existing tasks, run the deploy_merge procedure to apply the changes.

  • The GLCOMMITTIME field and GLCDCFLAG field will now be updated during merge operations with the soft delete option enabled for newly created tasks.

  For existing tasks, run the deploy_merge procedure to apply the changes.

  Note: Fields needs to have name GLCOMMITTIME and GLCDCFLAG.

A new Preview Features section has been added to the application UI's main page, allowing users to enable or disable preview functionalities.

Merge Support for Cluster Tables

Starting with Glue and RL release 25.02, you can now perform merges on cluster tables with correct handling of record deletions.
To enable this feature, go to Preview Features in the application UI and check the relevant option. Then, check this option in the Merge Settings section.

We recommend not running merges on cluster tables with versions before 25.02.
For existing cluster tables, we suggest deactivating them, reimporting the fields, and then reactivating them for full compatibility.

Additional Preview Features

  • Prevent Stream Staleness in Housekeeping Tasks
    This feature helps maintain up-to-date streams and can be enabled under Preview Features.

    Enabling this option ensures that the full row is updated, not just individual fields, during soft deletes.
