alterDynamicTable policies

Last updated: August 12, 2026

Modifies security and privacy policies on dynamic tables, including row access and aggregation policies.

Known limitations:

This change type does not support automatic rollback.
Snowflake snapshots created with Liquibase Secure 5.1 are incompatible with earlier versions due to enhanced object type detection for TABLES and VIEWS. Regenerate all snapshots with 5.1 after upgrading to avoid false differences in diff and diff-changelog operations.

Row access policy

Controls row-level access to data based on user attributes.

Available attributes

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
`catalogName`	String	Name of the catalog (database) containing the table	No
`schemaName`	String	Name of the schema containing the table	No
`tableName`	String	Name of the dynamic table to alter	Yes
`ifExists`	Boolean	Only execute if the table exists	No

alterRowAccessPolicy nested attributes

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
`policyName`	String	Name of the row access policy	No*
`on`	String	Column(s) the policy applies to	No
`dropPolicy`	Boolean	If true, drops the current policy	No*
`dropAllPolicies`	Boolean	If true, drops all policies	No*

*Specify either policyName to add/modify or dropPolicy/dropAllPolicies to remove.
