# Snowflake

Used to connect to Snowflake databases. This connector is currently in Preview state.

The connector needs a running or an auto-starting Snowflake Virtual Warehouse. It uses ACCOUNT\_USAGE from the internal imported ‘SNOWFLAKE’ metadata database and INFORMATION\_SCHEMA from each database available.

For ease of setup, it is recommended to use the ACCOUNTADMIN role as this will provide access to all relevant tables, but a custom role can be created.

Account: Snowflake account name

Host: Full host name of the Snowflake instance

User: Snowflake username

Password: Snowflake password

Role: Queries will be executed by the user using this Snowflake role

Warehouse: Snowflake computing warehouse to use when running queries
