Snowflake

Snowflake is a cloud-based data warehousing platform that supports structured and semi-structured data.

ingestr supports Snowflake as both a source and destination.

URI format

The URI format for Snowflake is as follows:

snowflake://user:password@account/dbname?warehouse=COMPUTE_WH&role=data_scientist

URI parameters:

• user: the user name to connect to the database
• password: the password for the user
• account: your Snowflake account identifier (copying from snowflake interface gives you org_name.account_name, modify the "." to "-" in the ingestr command)
• dbname: the name of the database to connect to
• warehouse: optional, the name of the warehouse to use
• role: optional, the name of the role to use

The same URI structure can be used both for sources and destinations. You can read more about SQLAlchemy's Snowflake dialect here.
