Standard Catalogs

Standard catalogs are created and managed inside of your AI Data Platform.

You create standard catalogs inside your master catalog. Users with the required permissions can view, modify, or create schema, volumes, and tables inside standard catalogs. Standard catalogs can contain external tables and volumes.
