Snowflake S3 Database Account
In this article
Overview
You can use this account type to connect Snowflake Snaps with data sources that use Snowflake S3 Database accounts.
If the Snap fails to connect to the database, it attempts to reconnect three times.Â
You can validate an account connection when creating a Snowflake S3 Database Account, but not when creating a Snowflake S3 Dynamic Account because the account properties of a dynamic account are provided dynamically as pipeline parameters. The difference between the Snowflake S3 Database Account and Snowflake S3 Dynamic Account is that in the latter you can specify the account properties as expressions that reference pipeline parameters.
Prerequisites
None.
Limitations and Known Issues
If an S3 bucket is specified in the SnapLogic Snowflake Account, the S3 credentials are validated as follows:
The S3 access-key ID and S3 secret key specified are used to create an S3 connection.
If the S3 access-key ID and S3 secret key are not specified, the Snap uses the IAM role instead.
If the Snap is not able to write to the S3 bucket, validation ends with an error stating that the Snap is unable to write to the specified S3 bucket.
If the Snap is able to write to (but not delete from) the specified S3 bucket, validation ends with an error indicating that the configuration is not able to delete from the S3 bucket.
The S3 AWS token is also validated if specified.
Note that only global Security Token Service (STS) regions are supported.
If an S3 bucket isn’t specified in the SnapLogic Account, no validation of S3 credentials occurs.
