The purpose of the Internal Stage in Snowflake is to provide a reliable and secure location for storing and managing data files that are being loaded into Snowflake. It is a default stage provided by Snowflake, and is accessible only from within a Snowflake account. The Internal Stage eliminates the need for users to manage external storage locations, and allows for faster data loading and querying. Additionally, it provides access control mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access data in the stage.
