Snowflake

This article describes how to create a connection to Snowflake using a SQL command.
To write your transformed data into a Snowflake table using SQLake, you must first create a connection that provides the appropriate credentials to access your database.

Syntax

CREATE SNOWFLAKE CONNECTION
<connection_identifier>
CONNECTION_STRING = '<connection_string>'
USER_NAME = '<user_name>'
PASSWORD = '<password>'
[ MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS = <integer> ]
[ COMMENT = '<comment>' ]

Connection options

CONNECTION_STRING — editable

Type: text
The connection string to use when connecting to the database.
Format:
jdbc:snowflake://<ACCOUNT_WITH_REGION>.snowflakecomputing.com?db=<DB_NAME>&warehouse=<WAREHOUSE_NAME>&role=<ROLE_NAME >
Where:
  • ACCOUNT_WITH_REGION.snowflakecomputing.com
    • The connection URL in Snowflake.
    • Example: snowflakedemo.us-east-2.aws.snowflakecomputing.com
  • DB_NAME
    • The name of the database to connect to.
  • WAREHOUSE_NAME
    • (Optional) The warehouse name. If not provided, the default warehouse is used. If no default warehouse exists, the CREATE CONNECTION command fails.
  • ROLE_NAME
    • (Optional) The name of the role to use when connecting. If not provided, the default role is used. If no default role exists, the CREATE CONNECTION command fails.

USER_NAME — editable with password

Type: text
The user to authenticate to the database with.

PASSWORD — editable with user_name

Type: text
The password for the user.

MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS — editable

Type: integer
(Optional) The maximum number of concurrent connections to the database.
Limiting this may reduce the load on the database but could result in longer data latency.

COMMENT — editable

Type: text
(Optional) A description or comment regarding this connection.

Minimum example

CREATE SNOWFLAKE CONNECTION my_snowflake_connection
CONNECTION_STRING = 'jdbc:snowflake://snowflakedemo.us-east-1.snowflakecomputing.com?db=DEMO_DB&warehouse=DEMO_WH&role=ADMIN'
USER_NAME = 'your_user'
PASSWORD = 'your_pass';

Full example

CREATE SNOWFLAKE CONNECTION my_snowflake_connection
CONNECTION_STRING = 'jdbc:snowflake://snowflakedemo.us-east-1.snowflakecomputing.com?db=DEMO_DB&warehouse=DEMO_WH&role=ADMIN'
USER_NAME = 'your_user'
PASSWORD = 'your_pass'
MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS = 23
COMMENT = 'snowflake connection example';
