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 Azure Blob for external staging:
Snowflake - Bulk Load
Snowflake - Bulk Upsert
Snowflake - Delete
Snowflake - Execute
Snowflake - Insert
Snowflake - Lookup
Snowflake - Select
Snowflake - Table List
Snowflake - Update
Snowflake - Unload
Supported Versions
This Snap Pack is tested with JDBC driver version 3.14.0.
Requirements
Snowflake JDBC JAR version 3.0.0 or higher (tested and supported with the JDBC driver version 3.14.0).
For the
GEOMETRY
data type, JDBC JAR version 3.13.28 or higher is requiredUser-defined functions (UDFs) created in the Snowflake console can be executed using Snowflake - Execute and Snowflake - Multi Execute Snaps.

- Use Case: Move Data Using Snowflake Snap Pack
As of November 8, 2023, the Snowflake Snap Pack is bundled with the default Snowflake JDBC JAR v3.14.0.
As of November 1, 2023, Snowflake instances hosted on Google Cloud must use Snowflake JDBC JARs 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.
