Snowflake

In this doc, we will cover how to setup a Connection to a Snowflake data warehouse.

Prerequisites

• Access credentials
• Snowflake account
• Warehouse and Database name

In Figure 2 above:

• Access Type (required): The type of connection: Read-Only, Write-Only, Read-Write.
• Connection Name (required): The name to identify this connection with, such as 'Snowflake connector'.
• Account (required): Specifies your account identifier. It is common to use the "Account Locator in a Region" which is a format that is a little bit more concise of the form <account_locator>.<region_id>.<cloud>, such as companyaccount.europe-west4.gcp. DO NOT add the "snowflakecomputing.com" suffix.
• Warehouse (required): Name of the warehouse to use. Each individual read and write connector will be allowed to override which warehouse to use.
• Database Name (required): Name of the default database to use. Each individual read and write connector will be allowed to override which database to use.
• Optional Role Name (optional): A role to use for the connection to Snowflake. If not specified, this will use the default role for the user.
• Choose Credentials (required): Choose from existing credentials or create new credential for connecting to Snowflake if 'Required Credentials' checkbox is selected.

In Figure 3 above, create new credentials if the Required Credentials checkbox was selected and you do not want to use an existing credential.

• Credential Name (required): The name to identify this credential with.
• User (required): Snowflake username to connect with.
• Password (required): Snowflake password to connect with.
