As for your question about the availability of Iceberg tables in Snowflake, as of the latest information, Iceberg Tables in Snowflake are in public preview.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi @lakshmipai 
Apologies . This question is more related to Snowflake rather than MS Fabric. I would request you to create a support ticket with the Snowflake team for more help.
Thanks
