This type alias points to either `TIMESTAMP_NTZ` (default), `TIMESTAMP_TZ` or `TIMESTAMP_LTZ`. If you want to have timezone data as part of the timestamp, please set the `TIMESTAMP_TYPE_MAPPING` configuration to `TIMESTAMP_TZ`. See [Snowflake documentation on `TIMESTAMP_TYPE_MAPPING` for more information](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/parameters#timestamp-type-mapping). + ## Reserved words Snowflake has a list of reserved words that must be quoted in order to be used as an identifier. Flow automatically quotes fields that are in the reserved words list. You can find this list in Snowflake's documentation [here](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/reserved-keywords.html) and in the table below.
