| The following limitations apply to Dynamic Tables in the current Snowflake emulator: | ||
|
|
||
| - **Always-current refresh behavior**: Dynamic Tables are backed by views in the current implementation, meaning they always reflect the latest state of their source query. As a result, `TARGET_LAG` and `REFRESH_MODE` settings are accepted but have no effect on refresh timing or staleness behavior. | ||
| - **Planned support**: Proper staleness tracking and refresh-timing support is planned for the Rust emulator. No newline at end of file |

I don't think we want to share the info about the Rust emulator yet.
