Does Autoloader Detect New Records in a Snowflake Table or Only Work With Files?

The only thing I can find with autoloader is picking up new files, nothing about new records in an existing snowflake table.

Hi @mmceld1

Autoloader is for cloud storage files. You can achieve similar functionality by using Delta Lake and its capabilities for handling slowly changing dimensions (SCD Type 2) and change data capture (CDC)
