Classifying Stage Types

We learned stages are a temporary storage location and a key way to get data into Snowflake.

Harbr's data engineering team is reviewing how different staging scenarios map to Snowflake stage types. There are three stage types: the user stage (@~) which is personal to a single Snowflake user; the table stage (%table_name) which is tied to one specific target table; and named stages, which are created explicitly and can be shared across roles and sessions.
