RESTORE TABLE

By the snapshot ID or timestamp you specify in the command, Databend restores the table to a prior state where the snapshot was created. To retrieve snapshot IDs and timestamps of a table, use FUSE_SNAPSHOT.

-- Restore with a snapshot ID
ALTER TABLE <table> FLASHBACK TO (SNAPSHOT => '<snapshot-id>');
-- Restore with a snapshot timestamp
ALTER TABLE <table> FLASHBACK TO (TIMESTAMP => '<timestamp>'::TIMESTAMP);

Adding Build Information to Error Report

An error report currently only contains an error code and some information about why the error occurred. When build information is available, troubleshooting will become easier.

"Code: xx. Error: error msg... (version ...)"
