Would it be an advantage to add a Use Schema command prior to the
create table command, or just fully qualify the tablename with the schema 

in the create command?

e.g.

-- Change current schema:

use GARDEN_PLANTS.VEGGIES;

--or fully qualified table name:

create or replace table VEGGIES.ROOT_DEPTH ( ...... );

It depends on your goal. We try to make sure people are learning to do

either or both so that they have that choice. In our old version of this

course, it was amazing how many people made it to the end of the course
without realizing the context menu exists so we are trying to drive this

point better in the new version. We want people to understand the choice
they can make and use either method according to whatever they want or
need to do in each situation.

I used to hate the way Snowflake would fully qualify

names using double quotes when you used the
worksheet menu item "Place Name in SQL" but now that

the new user interface does not include the double

quotes on fully qualified names, I like fully qualified

names a lot more. I feel like the code looks much cleaner
so I used to use a USE DATABASE X; USE SCHEMA Y; I
am getting away from that now.

Hey, I do not seem to have the GARDEN_PLANTS DB

and VEGGIES schema. Also I still tried to run the create
or replace table command, it cannot be done.
