For now, to create Iceberg tables, you must implement a [behavior flag](/reference/global-configs/behavior-changes) due to performance impact related to using Iceberg tables. Snowflake does not support `is_iceberg` on the `Show Objects` query, which dbt depends on for metadata.

I removed the part about SHOW OBJECTS as it felt a little niche / tangental, but let me know if you disagree!

Just saw this pop up - I disagree with this :) This is a dbt metadata performance impact rather than from using Iceberg tables. (also this helps snowflake customers advocate for us)
