Requirements

Database User

This source only uses standard authentication. You will need to create a Snowflake user to login to the database with.

Example

sources:
    my-sf-source:
        kind: snowflake
        account: ${SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT}
        user: ${SNOWFLAKE_USER}
        password: ${SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD}
        database: ${SNOWFLAKE_DATABASE}
        schema: ${SNOWFLAKE_SCHEMA}
        warehouse: ${SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE}
        role: ${SNOWFLAKE_ROLE}

Tip

Use environment variable replacement with the format ${ENV_NAME} instead of hardcoding your secrets into the configuration file.
