Overview

You can use the Snowflake - Bulk Upsert Snap to bulk update the records if present or inserts records to the target Snowflake table.

Depending on the account that you configure with the Snap, you can use the Snowflake Bulk Upsert Snap to upsert data into AWS S3 buckets or Microsoft Azure Storage Blobs or Google Cloud Storage.

The Snap creates temporary files in JCC when the staging location is internal and the data source is Input view. These temporary files are removed automatically once the Pipeline completes execution.

Snap Type

The Snowflake - Bulk Upsert Snap is a Write-type Snap that performs a bulk upsert operation.

PrerequisitesYou must have minimum permissions on the database to execute Snowflake Snaps. To understand if you already have them, you must retrieve the current set of permissions. The following commands enable you to retrieve those permissions:

SHOW GRANTS ON DATABASE <database_name>
SHOW GRANTS ON SCHEMA <schema_name>
SHOW GRANTS TO USER <user_name>

Security Prerequisites:

You should have the following permission in your Snowflake account to execute this Snap:

Usage (DB and Schema): Privilege to use the database, role, and schema.

The following commands enable minimum privileges in the Snowflake Console:

grant usage on database <database_name> to role <role_name>;
grant usage on schema <database_name>.<schema_name>;

For more information on Snowflake privileges, refer to Access Control Privileges.

The below are mandatory when using an external staging location:

When using an Amazon S3 bucket for storage:

The Snowflake account should contain S3 Access-key ID, S3 Secret key, S3 Bucket and S3 Folder.
The Amazon S3 bucket where the Snowflake will write the output files must reside in the same region as your cluster.

When using a Microsoft Azure storage blob:

A working Snowflake Azure database account.

Internal SQL Commands

This Snap uses the following commands internally:

SELECT FROM TABLE: SELECT as a statement enables you to query the database and retrieve a set of rows. SELECT as a clause enables you to define the set of columns returned by a query.
COPY INTO <table>: Enables loading data from staged files to an existing table.
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE: Enables creating temporary table in the database. See Create Temporary Table Privilege for more information.
MERGE: Enables inserting, updating, and deleting values in a table based on values in a second table or a subquery.

Support for Ultra Pipelines

Works in Ultra Pipelines. However, we recommend that you not use this Snap in an Ultra Pipeline.

Limitations

The special character '~' is not supported if it is there in temp directory name for Windows. It is reserved for user's home directory.

Known Issues

Because of performance issues, all Snowflake Snaps now ignore the Cancel queued queries when pipeline is stopped or if it fails option for Manage Queued Queries, even when selected. Snaps behave as though the default Continue to execute queued queries when the Pipeline is stopped or if it fails option were selected.

Behavior Change

In the 4.31 main18944 release and later, the Snowflake - Bulk Upsert Snap no longer supports values from an upstream input document in the Key columns field when the expression button is enabled.

To avoid breaking your existing Pipelines that use a value from the input schema in the Key columns field, update the Snap settings to use an input value from Pipeline parameters instead.

JSON Generator
Binary to Document

Incoming documents are first written to a staging file on Snowflake's internal staging area. A temporary table is created on Snowflake with the contents of the staging file. An update operation is then run to update existing records in the target table and/or an insert operation is run to insert new records into the target table.

If an output view is available, then the output document displays the number of input records and the status of the bulk upload as follows:

Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:

Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current pipeline execution if the Snap encounters an error.
Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.
Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

Field Name	Field Type	Field Dependency	Description
Label* Default Value: Snowflake - Bulk Upsert Example: Load Employee Tables	String	N/A	Specify the name for the instance. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your Pipeline.
Schema Name* Default Value: N/A Example: schema_demo	String/Expression/Suggestion	N/A	Specify the database schema name. In case it is not defined, then the suggestion for the Table Name retrieves all tables names of all schemas. The property is suggestible and will retrieve available database schemas during suggest values. The values can be passed using the Pipeline parameters but not the upstream parameter.
Table Name* Default Value: N/A Example: employees_table	String/Expression/Suggestion	N/A	Specify the name of the table to execute bulk load operation on. The values can be passed using the Pipeline parameters but not the upstream parameter.
Staging Location Default Value: Internal Example: External	Dropdown list	N/A	Select the type of staging location that is to be used for data loading: External: Location that is not managed by Snowflake. The location should be an AWS S3 Bucket or Microsoft Azure Storage Blob or Google Cloud Storage. These credentials are mandatory while validating the Account. Internal: Location that is managed by Snowflake.
File format object Default Value: None Example: `jsonPath()`	String/Expression/Suggestion	N/A	Specify an existing file format object to use for loading data into the table. The specified file format object determines the format type such as CSV, JSON, XML, AVRO, or other format options for data files.
File format type Default Value: None Example: CSV	Dropdown list	N/A	Specify a predefined file format object to use for loading data into the table. The available file formats include CSV, JSON, XML, and AVRO.
File format option Default value: N/A Example: BINARY_FORMAT=UTF8	String/Expression	N/A	Specify the file format option. Separate multiple options by using blank spaces and commas. You can use various file format options including a binary format which passes through in the same way as other file formats. Learn more: File Format Type Options. Before loading binary data into Snowflake, you must specify the binary encoding format, so that Snap can decode the string type to binary types before loading it into Snowflake. This can be done by selecting the following binary file format: `BINARY_FORMAT=xxx (Where XXX = HEX\|BASE64\|UTF8)` However, the file you upload and download must be in similar formats. For instance, if you load a file in HEX binary format, you should specify the HEX format for download as well.
Encryption type Default Value: None Example: Server-Side Encryption	Dropdown list	N/A	Specify the type of encryption to be used on the data. The available encryption options are: None: Files do not get encrypted. Server Side Encryption: The output files on Amazon S3 are encrypted with server-side encryption. Server-Side KMS Encryption: The output files on Amazon S3 are encrypted with an Amazon S3-generated KMS key. The KMS Encryption option is available only for S3 Accounts (not for Azure Accounts) with Snowflake. If Staging Location is set to Internal, and when Data source is Input view, the Server Side Encryption and Server-Side KMS Encryption options are not supported for Snowflake snaps: This happens because Snowflake encrypts loading data in its internal staging area and does not allow the user to specify the type of encryption in the PUT API. Learn more: Snowflake PUT Command Documentation.
KMS key Default Value: N/A Example: <Encrypted>	String/Expression	N/A	Specify the KMS key that you want to use for S3 encryption. Learn more about the KMS key: AWS KMS Overview and Using Server Side Encryption. This property applies only when you select Server-Side KMS Encryption in the Encryption Type field above.
Buffer size (MB) Default Value: 10MB Example: 20MB	String/Expression	N/A	Specify the data in MB to be loaded into the S3 bucket at a time. This property is required when bulk loading to Snowflake using AWS S3 as the external staging area. Minimum value: 6 MB Maximum value: 5000 MB S3 allows a maximum of 10000 parts to be uploaded so this property must be configured accordingly to optimize the bulk load. Refer to Upload Part for more information on uploading to S3.
Key columns* Default Value: None Example: EmpID	Specify the column to use for existing entries in the target table. The Key columns field does not support values from the upstream input document when the expression button is enabled. The value must be defined for all inputs and remain constant throughout the Snap execution. Therefore, the Snap supports expressions to include only constant pipeline parameters. If you are using a function to get or transform the value from a pipeline parameter, that value must evaluate to a value that is not null and is not empty at the time of pipeline execution.
Delete Upsert Condition Default: None	String	N/A	Delete Upsert Condition when true, causes the case to be executed.
Preserve case sensitivity Default Value: Deselected	Checkbox	N/A	Select this check box to preserve the case sensitivity of the column names. If you do not select Preserve case sensitivity, the input documents are loaded to the target table if the key names in the input documents match the target table column names ignoring the case. If you include a second input view, selecting Preserve case sensitivity has no effect on the column names of the target table, because Snap uses the metadata from the second input view.
Manage Queued Queries Default Value: Continue to execute queued queries when the Pipeline is stopped or if it fails Example: Cancel queued queries when the Pipeline is stopped or if it fails	Dropdown list	N/A	Select this property to determine whether the Snap should continue or cancel the execution of the queued Snowflake Execute SQL queries when you stop the pipeline. If you select Cancel queued queries when the Pipeline is stopped or if it fails, then the read queries under execution are canceled, whereas the write type of queries under execution are not canceled. Snowflake internally determines which queries are safe to be canceled and cancels those queries.
Load empty strings Default value: Selected	Checkbox	N/A	If selected, empty string values in the input documents are loaded as empty strings to the string-type fields. Otherwise, empty string values in the input documents are loaded as null. Null values are loaded as null regardless.
Additional Options
On Error Default Value: ABORT_STATEMENT Example: CONTINUE	Dropdown list	N/A	Select an action to perform when errors are encountered in a file. The available actions are: ABORT_STATEMENT: Aborts the COPY statement if any error is encountered. The error will be thrown from the Snap or routed to the error view. CONTINUE: Continues loading the file. The error will be shown as a part of the output document. SKIP_FILE: Skips file if any errors encountered in the file. SKIP_FILE_error_limit: Skips file when the number of errors in the file exceeds the number specified in Error Limit. SKIP_FILE_error_percent_limit%: Skips file when the percentage of errors in the file exceeds the percentage specified in Error percentage limit.
Error Limit Default Value: 0 Example: 3	Integer	Appears when you select SKIP_FILE_error_limit* for On Error.*	Specify the error limit to skip file. When the number of errors in the file exceeds the specified error limit or when SKIP_FILE_number is selected for On Error.
Error Percentage Limit Default Value: 0 Example: 1	Integer	Appears when you select *SKIP_FILE_error_percent_limit%* for On Error.	Specify the percentage of errors to skip file. If the file exceeds the specified percentage when SKIP_FILE_number% is selected for On Error.
Snap Execution Default Value: Execute only Example: Validate & Execute	Dropdown list	N/A	Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are: Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime. Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data. Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

Troubleshooting

Error

Reason

Resolution

Cannot lookup a property on a null value.

The value referenced in the Key Column field is null.

This Snap does not support values from an upstream input document in the Key columns field when the expression button is enabled.

Update the Snap settings to use an input value from Pipeline parameters and run the Pipeline again.

Example

Upserting Records

This example Pipeline demonstrates how you can efficiently update and delete data (rows) using the Key Column ID field and Upsert Delete condition. We use Snowflake - Bulk Upsert Snap to accomplish this task.

First, we configure the Mapper Snap with the required details to pass them as inputs to the downstream Snap.

After validation, the Mapper Snap prepares the output as shown below to pass to the Snowflake Bulk - Upsert Snap.

Next, we configure the Snowflake - Bulk Upsert Snap to:

Upsert the existing row for P_ID column, (so, we provide P_ID in the Key column field).
Delete the rows where the FIRSTNAME is snaplogic in the target table, (so, we specify FIRSTNAME = 'snaplogic' in the Delete Upsert Condition field).

After execution, this Snap inserts a new record into the existing row for the P_ID key column in Snowflake.

Inserted Records Output in JSON	Inserted Records in Snowflake

Upon execution, if the Delete Upsert condition is true, the Snap deletes the records in the target table as shown below.

Output in JSON	Deleted Record in Snowflake

Bulk Loading Records

In the following example, we update a record using the Snowflake Bulk Upsert Snap. The invalid records which cannot be inserted will be routed to an error view.

In the pipeline execution:

The Mapper (Data) Snap maps the record details to the input fields of Snowflake Upsert Snap:
Snowflake Upsert Snap updates the record using the "PRASANNA"."Persons" table object:
Successful execution of the pipeline displays the following data preview (Note that one input has been made and two records with the name P_ID have been updated within the Persons table.):

November 2022	431patches19220	08 Dec 2022	Latest	The Snowflake - Bulk Upsert Snap no longer supports values from an upstream input document in the Key columns field when the expression button is enabled. The value must remain constant throughout the Snap’s execution and now limits support for expressions to include only Pipeline parameters. To avoid breaking your existing Pipelines that use a value from the input schema in the Key columns field, update the Snap settings to use an input value from Pipeline parameters instead. The Snowflake Bulk Load Snap no longer displays the validation warning in the following cases: When you configure the Validation Mode as NONE and Validation Errors Type as Do not show errors in the Snap, or When Validation Mode is RETURN_n_ROWS, RETURN_ERRORS, or RETURN_ALL_ERRORS.
November 2022	main18944	10 Nov 2022	Stable	The Snowflake - Bulk Load Snap now routes the `403-Access Denied` error to the error view (when the error view is enabled) when you do not have `DeleteObject` permission to delete the temporary files in the S3 bucket. Fixed the following issues in the Snowflake - Bulk Load Snap: The Snap failed when the Preserve case sensitivity field was not selected and the column names in the input document and the target table were the same but the cases were different. Now, the Snap does not fail and loads the data correctly to the target table. The Snap created a table when it did not exist with multiple columns in the target table when there were two input views, but the column name cases were different in both views. Now, the Snap creates the table from the metadata provided by the second input view and loads the data into the target table from the first input view. The Snowflake Insert Snap now creates the target table only from the table metadata of the second input view when the following conditions are met: The Create table if not present checkbox is selected. The target table does not exist. The table metadata is provided in the second input view.
November 2022	430patches18911	08 Nov 2022	Latest	Because of performance issues, all Snowflake Snaps now ignore the Cancel queued queries when pipeline is stopped or if it fails option for Manage Queued Queries, even when selected. Snaps behave as though the default Continue to execute queued queries when the Pipeline is stopped or if it fails option were selected.
October 2022	430patches18781	27 Oct 2022	Latest	The Snowflake Insert and Snowflake Bulk Upsert Snaps now do not fail with the `SQL Operation failed` error, when you insert the uppercase key name into a mixed-case column if the Preserve case sensitivity checkbox is deselected. The Snowflake Bulk Load Snap now works as expected when you configure On Error with SKIP_FILE_error_percent_limit% and set the Error Percent Limit to more than the percentage of rows with invalid data in the CSV file.
October 2022	430patches18432	13 Oct 2022	Latest	The Snowflake Bulk Load Snap now has a Validation Errors Type dynamic field, which provides options for displaying validation errors. You can now choose Aggregate errors per row to display a summary view of errors.
September 2022	430patches17962	19 Sep 2022	Latest	The Snowflake Bulk Load Snap now triggers the metadata query only once even for invalid input, thereby improving the performance of Snap.
September 2022	430patches17894	15 Sep 2022	Latest	The Snowflake Select Snap now works as expected when the table name is dependent on an upstream input.
August 2022	430patches17748	02 Sep 2022	Latest	Fixes in the Snowflake Bulk Load Snap: The Snap now routes the `403-Access Denied` error to the error view (when the error view is enabled) when you do not have `DeleteObject` permission to delete the temporary files in the S3 bucket. The Snap now checks for the expiration time whenever it receives a new access token for refreshing the token in Snowflake OAuth2 account.
August 2022	430patches17377	25 Aug 2022	Latest	The following issues are fixed in the Snowflake - Bulk Load Snap: The Snap successfully loads the data even when you deselect the Preserve case- sensitivity checkbox and the source and target column names are similar, but with different casing. When the Snap has two input views, it creates the target table from the metadata provided by the second input view and loads the data into the target table from the first input view. The Snowflake Select Snap now validates successfully even when you set the Table Name field with an expression.
August 2022	main17386	11 Aug 2022	Stable	The following Snowflake Accounts support Key Pair Authentication. Snowflake Azure Database Account Snowflake Google Storage Database Account Snowflake S3 Database Account Snowflake S3 Dynamic Account
4.29 Patch	429patches16478	21 Jul 2022	Latest	Fixed an issue with Snowflake - Bulk Load Snap where Snap failed with 301 status code - SnapDataException.
4.29 Patch	429patches16458	27 Jun 2022	Latest	Fixed the following issues with the Snaps that use Snowflake Accounts Key Pair Authentication. The Snaps were not able to read the private keys provided as Pipeline parameters, because the key was malformed by replacing the line breaks with whitespace characters. Now, the private keys are properly formed and read when provided as Pipeline parameters. The Snap displayed a Null Point Exception error when you pass an invalid key into the Private Key field like test. Now, the Snap displays a valid error message. Fixed an issue with the Snaps due to an upgrade made to HikariCP that caused a conditional failure and prevented the downstream Snaps to supply the parameters to the stored procedure. Fixed an issue with Snowflake Execute and Snowflake Select Snaps where the Snap displayed an exception error when the FLOAT or DOUBLE datatype column has the value as NaN (Not a Number). Now the output value is written as-is (NaN) for FLOAT or DOUBLE datatype column and does not display an exception. Enhanced the following Snowflake Accounts with support for Key Pair Authentication. Snowflake Azure Database Account Snowflake Google Storage Database Account Snowflake S3 Database Account Snowflake S3 Dynamic Account Removed support for unencrypted Private Keys to enforce security in Snowflake accounts.
4.29	main15993	14 May 2022	Stable	Upgraded with the latest SnapLogic Platform release.
4.28 Patch	428patches15236	12 Apr 2022	Latest	Updated the Snowflake - Bulk Upsert Snap for the following: The Snap displayed a incorrect resolution when the length of the value exceeded the value defined in a column. The Snap failed with a NullPointer Exception when no value was provided for Error Limit field and Error percentage limit fields. The Snap displayed an incorrect error message when S3 details were not provided. Added the On Error dropdown list, where you can select an action to perform when the Snap encounters errors in a file. Removed the Username field in the following accounts to allow reusing of accounts among different users: Snowflake Azure OAuth2 Account Snowflake S3 OAuth2 Account Snowflake Google Storage OAuth2 Account The following enhancements were done for Snowflake - Bulk Load Snap: The Snap skips AWS account validation if S3 Storage Integration property is provided. The Snap skips the validate command if S3 Storage Integration property is not provided The Snap overrides the storage integration specified in the account settings with the storage integration specified in the Snap settings. Enhanced the Snowflake - Unload Snap to skip AWS account validation if S3 Storage Integration property is provided.
4.28	main14627	12 Feb 2022	Stable	Enhanced the Snowflake S3 Database Account with the S3 Storage Integration field to support authentication of Amazon S3 bucket hosting as the external stage. When you provide a value in this field, the Snap enables the COPY command to avoid using AWS credentials for authentication. Added the following account types that enable OAuth2 authentication for all the Snowflake Snaps. Snowflake Azure OAuth Account Snowflake Google Storage OAuth2 Account Snowflake S3 OAuth2 Account Updated the label for Delete Condition to Delete Condition (Truncates Table if empty) in the Snowflake Delete Snap
4.27	427patches12999	23 Nov 2021	Latest	Enhanced the Snowflake SCD2 Snap to support Pipeline parameters for Natural key and Cause-historization fields.
4.27	main12833	13 Nov 2021	Stable	Enhanced the Snowflake S3 Database Account to skip batch execution, when the Batch size value is one. When the Batch size is greater than one, the batch is executed.

4.21	snapsmrc542	09 May 2020	Stable	Upgraded with the latest SnapLogic Platform release.
4.20 Patch	db/snowflake8800	14 Apr 2020	Latest	Certifies the Snowflake Snap Pack against JDBC Driver version 3.12.3. Snowflake Execute and Multi-Execute Snaps may break existing Pipelines if the JDBC Driver is updated to a newer version. With the updated JDBC driver (version 3.12.3), the Snowflake Execute and Multi-Execute Snaps' output displays a Status of "-1" instead of "0" without the Message field upon successfully executing DDL statements. If your Pipelines use these Snaps and downstream Snaps use the Status field's value from these, you must modify the downstream Snaps to proceed on a status value of -1 instead of 0. This change in the Snap behavior follows from the change introduced in the Snowflake JDBC driver in version 3.8.1: "Statement.getUpdateCount() and PreparedStatement.getUpdateCount() return the number of rows updated by DML statements. For all other types of statements, including queries, they return -1."
