Snowflake Snap Pack
In this article
Overview
Snowflake is a cloud data warehouse (CDW). Use Snaps in this Snap Pack to:
Insert, upsert, update, unload, execute, and delete records in Snowflake.
Query a specific Snowflake instance and return the requested records or keys.
Execute multiple queries.
Enable SCD2 to track the history of changes.
The following Snaps support AWS S3, Azure Blob, and Google Cloud Storage for external staging:
Snowflake - Bulk Load
Snowflake - Bulk Upsert
Snowflake - Unload
The Snowflake Snap Pack supports Snowflake vectors, including schema generation and output compatibility with vector data types.
Important update from Snowflake about deprecated drivers:
As of February 1, 2024, Snowflake has ceased support of older driver versions in compliance with its Support Policy. You must upgrade to the latest driver version to access important security, performance, and functionality improvements. Ensure that your Snowflake pipelines use the Snowflake JDBC Driver v3.13.27 or a higher version. Learn how to check your current driver version. The Snowflake Snap Pack is bundled with the 3.16.0 JDBC driver, but if you are using your own version, it may be deprecated in accordance with Snowflake Guidelines.
Prerequisites
Snowflake JDBC driver JAR v3.0.0 or higher (tested and supported with the JDBC driver version 3.16.0).
For the
GEOMETRY
data type, JDBC driver JAR v3.13.28 or higher is requiredUser-defined functions (UDFs) created in the Snowflake console can be executed using Snowflake - Execute and Snowflake - Multi Execute Snaps.
Supported Versions
This Snap Pack is tested with JDBC driver version 3.16.0.
As of November 8, 2023, the Snowflake Snap Pack is bundled with the default Snowflake JDBC driver v3.16.0.
As of November 1, 2023, Snowflake instances hosted on Google Cloud must use Snowflake JDBC driver v3.13.25 or higher. If you are using the default drivers bundled with Snowflake or ELT Snaps, your pipelines are not affected. If your Snowflake instances hosted on Google Cloud use older JARs, you must update the client drivers. Learn more.
For support of all geospatial data types, we recommend that you use our custom JDBC driver. Contact support@snaplogic.com for details.
