Overview
You can use the ELT Database Account to connect to a target Snowflake database. The cloud location where the database is hosted is indicated in the JDBC URL for your target Snowflake database, as seen in the following table:
| Target Database | Supported Cloud Location | Cloud Location in JDBC URL |
|---|---|---|
| Snowflake | AWS | jdbc:snowflake://<account_name>.snowflakecomputing.com |
| Microsoft Azure | jdbc:snowflake://<account_name>.<region>.azure.snowflakecomputing.com | |
| Google Cloud Platform (GCP) | jdbc:snowflake://<account_name>.<region>.gcp.snowflakecomputing.com |
The ELT Snap Pack does not support mixed accounts from different types of databases in the same Pipeline. For example, a Pipeline in which some Snaps are connecting to the Snowflake database cannot have other Snaps connecting to a Redshift database.
JDBC Driver Version Alert
Snowflake has announced end of support for its JDBC Driver versions lower than 3.12.17 as of January 31, 2023.
As SnapLogic currently uses version 3.13.33, there is no action needed from your end if you allow the accounts, and hence Snaps, to download this JDBC Driver automatically.
However, if you are manually uploading your JDBC Driver file for your Snap account, ensure that you have uploaded a JDBC Driver version 3.12.17 or above. Else, the Snap account may fail.
Prerequisites
- A valid Snowflake account.
Certified JDBC JAR File: snowflake-jdbc-3.13.33.jar
Using Alternate JDBC JAR File Versions
We recommend that you let the ELT Snaps use this JAR file version. However, you may use a different JAR file version of your choice.
If you are using the OAuth2 authentication type for accessing your target Snowflake instance, the redirect URL for your Storage Integration (
OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI)must be …/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/elt.
Limitations
None.
Known Issue
- When you use the auto-fill feature in the Google Chrome browser to fill ELT Snap account credentials—such as user names, passwords, client secrets, auth codes and tokens, secret keys, and keystores, the accounts, and hence the Pipelines fail. This is because the browser overwrites the field values with its own encrypted values that the SnapLogic Platform cannot read. SnapLogic recommends that you do not auto-save your Snap account credentials in the Chrome browser, delete any credentials that the browser has already saved for elastic.snaplogic.com, and then perform ONE of the following actions:
- Option 1: Click
that appears in the address bar after you submit your login credentials at elastic.snaplogic.com, and then click Never. - Option 2: Disable the Offer to save Passwords option at chrome://settings/passwords while working with your SnapLogic Pipelines. If you disable this option, your Chrome browser will not remember your passwords on any other website.
