In Snowflake, the change tracking metadata for a table is utilized by the MERGE command and the STREAM object. The MERGE command uses change tracking to determine how to apply updates and inserts efficiently based on differences between source and target tables. STREAM objects, on the other hand, specifically capture and store change data, enabling incremental processing based on changes made to a table since the last stream offset was committed.References: Snowflake Documentation on MERGE and STREAM Objects.

A transient schema in Snowflake is designed without a Fail-safe period, meaning it does not incur additional storage costs once it leaves Time Travel, and it is not protected by Fail-safe in the event of a data loss. The WITH MANAGED ACCESS option ensures that all privilege grants, including future grants on objects within the schema, are managed by the schema owner, thus restricting object owners from passing on access to other users1.

This is the correct command to create a clone of the table Data as it was 5 minutes ago using cloning and Time Travel. Cloning is a feature that allows creating a copy of a database, schema, table, or view without duplicating the data or metadata. Time Travel is a feature that enables accessing historical data (i.e. data that has been changed or deleted) at any point within a defined period. To create a clone of a table at a point in time in the past, the syntax is:

CREATE TABLE CLONE AT (OFFSET => );

The OFFSET parameter specifies the time difference in seconds from the present time. A negative value indicates a point in the past. For example, -60*5 means 5 minutes ago. Alternatively, the TIMESTAMP parameter can be used to specify an exact timestamp in the past. The clone will contain the data as it existed in the source table at the specified point in time12.
