In a Snowflake table, a default timestamp can be incorporated by defining the column as a TIMESTAMP data type and setting its default value to the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP function. The syntax for creating a table with a default timestamp column in Snowflake would be something like:

CREATE TABLE mytable ( id INT, eventtimestamp TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() );

This will create a table named "mytable" with two columns - "id" and "eventtimestamp". The "event_timestamp" column will have a default value of the current timestamp when a row is inserted, unless a specific value is provided.
