I couldnt find the syntax being described in the link, could you double check and have the link reference the actual syntax?

Good catch. The previous anchor no longer exists. I updated it to the exact "Specifying a structured OBJECT type" section, which includes the OBJECT(...) syntax: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/data-types-structured#specifying-a-structured-object-type

Snowflake structured OBJECT types can contain named, nullable or
NOT NULLfields and recursively nested OBJECT types. The genericCustom(Vec<String>)representation loses these boundaries.This adds
DataType::Object(Vec<ColumnDef>), a Snowflake dialect capability, recursive parsing and formatting, and leaves unstructuredOBJECTunchanged.Validated against:
https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/data-types-structured#structured-object-types
Tests cover nested types,
NOT NULLAST preservation, unstructuredOBJECT, and malformed definitions.AI assistance: Codex was used to prepare the implementation and tests.
