    Connecting with Snowflake

    To configure a Snowflake data source, you first need to connect to the server by entering the following information:

    Configure Snowflake Server details

    1. Account: Your snowflake account without the region or cloud provider information. For example, it should be similar to <account_name> instead of <account_name>.us-east-1.snowflakecomputing.com.

    2. Host: Although not required, if no value is specified <account_name>.snowflakecomputing.com will be assumed. If you are not in the US West region or want to use a global URL, you need to specify a HOST with the format: <account_name>.<region_id>.snowflakecomputing.com.

    3. Credentials: after selecting Credentials, you will be able to enter the credentials for your Snowflake server or select existing ones if applicable.

      A dialog where you can add your credentials

      • Username: the user account for the Snowflake server or the name of the domain.

      • Password: the password to access the Snowflake server.

      • Alias: the name for your data source account. It will be displayed in the list of accounts in the previous dialog.
