Snowflake

Snowflake is a large-scale cloud-based data warehouse. This article will cover how to connect to Snowflake from Noteable.
Noteable’s Snowflake connector uses a SQLAlchemy connector and supports SnowSQL dialects.

Prepare

You will need the following information to create the connection:
  • Account Identifier (Learn more)
  • Username
  • Password or Access Token
You may optionally provide:
  • Warehouse
  • Database
  • Schema
  • Role
If your data source is behind a firewall, you will need to ensure your firewall accepts incoming connections from Noteable. Read more: Query external data.
