# tSnowflakeInput Standard properties These properties are used to configure tSnowflakeInput running in the Standard Job framework. The Standard tSnowflakeInput component belongs to the Cloud family. The component in this framework is available in all Talend products. Information noteNote: This component is a specific version of a dynamic database connector. The properties related to database settings vary depending on your database type selection. For more information about dynamic database connectors, see [DB Generic components](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/8.0/components/db-generic/db-generic-component). ## Basic settings | Properties | Description | | --- | --- | | Database | Select the desired database type from the list and click
Apply. | | Property Type | Select the way the connection details
will be set.

Built-In: The connection details will be set locally for this component. You need to specify the values for all related connection properties manually.
Repository: The connection details stored centrally in Repository > Metadata will be reused by this component.

You need to click the [...] button next to it and in the pop-up Repository Content dialog box, select the connection details to be reused, and all related connection properties will be automatically filled in.

This property is not available when other connection component is selected from
the Connection Component dropdown list. | | Component list | Select the component that opens the database connection to be reused by this
component. | | Account | In the Account field, enter, in double
quotation marks, the account name that has been assigned to you by Snowflake. | | Authentication Type | Set the authentication type.

Key Pair: Select this option if key pair authentication is enabled.

See Using Key Pair Authentication for related information.
OAuth 2.0: Select this option to use external OAuth for data accessing.

See External OAuth Overview for related information.

Information noteNote: Before selecting the Key

| | Warehouse | Enter, in double quotation marks, the name of the
Snowflake warehouse to be used. This name is case-sensitive and is normally upper
case in Snowflake. | | Schema | Enter,
within double quotation marks, the name of the database schema to be used. This name
is case-sensitive and is normally upper case in Snowflake. | | Database | Enter, in double quotation
marks, the name of the Snowflake database to be used. This name is case-sensitive
and is normally upper case in Snowflake. | | Table | Click the [...] button and in the displayed wizard, select the
Snowflake table to be used. | | Schema and Edit Schema | A schema is a row description. It defines the number of fields
(columns) to be processed and passed on to the next component. When you create a Spark
Job, avoid the reserved word line when naming the
fields.

Built-In: You create and store the schema locally for this component
only.

Repository: You have already created the schema and stored it in the
Repository. You can reuse it in various projects and Job designs.

If the Snowflake data type to be handled is VARIANT, OBJECT, or ARRAY, while
defining the schema in the component, select String for the
corresponding data in the Type column of the schema editor
wizard.

Click Edit
schema to make changes to the schema. If the current schema is of the Repository type, three options are available:

View schema: choose this option to view the schema only.
Change to built-in property: choose this option to change the schema to Built-in for local changes.
Update repository connection: choose this option to change the schema stored in the repository and decide whether to propagate the changes to all the Jobs upon completion.

If you just want to propagate the changes to the current Job, you can select No upon completion and choose this schema metadata again in the Repository Content window.

Note that if the input value of any non-nullable primitive field is null, the row of data including that field will be rejected.

This component offers the advantage of the
dynamic schema feature. This allows you to retrieve unknown columns from source
files or to copy batches of columns from a source without mapping each column
individually. For further information about dynamic schemas, see [Dynamic schema](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/8.0/studio-user-guide/dynamic-schema).

This
dynamic schema feature is designed for the purpose of retrieving unknown columns of a
table and is recommended to be used for this purpose only; it is not recommended for the
use of creating tables. | | Manual Query | Select this checkbox and in the Full SQL query
string field, enter, within double quotation marks, the query statement
to be executed. For information about the Snowflake SQL commands, see [SQL Command Reference](https://docs.snowflake.net/manuals/sql-reference-commands.html).

This component supports vector search capabilities, you can use this option to
specify the query condition using the vector previously created in
Snowflake.

For more information on Snowflake vector search, see the
corresponding [Snowflake documentation](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/data-types-vector). | | Condition | Enter, in double quotation marks, the boolean expression to be used
to filter data from your Snowflake table. This expression is actually used as WHERE
clause in the SELECT query run by tSnowflakeInput. | ## Advanced settings | Properties | Description | | --- | --- | | Additional JDBC Parameters | Specify additional connection properties for the database connection you are
creating. The properties are separated by semicolon and each property is a key-value
pair, for example, *encryption=1;clientname=Talend*.

This field is available only when you select Use
this Component from the Connection Component
dropdown list and select Internal from the
Storage dropdown list in the Basic
settings view. | | Login Timeout | Specify the timeout period (in minutes)
of Snowflake login attempts. An error will be generated if no response is received
in this period.

This field is available only when you select Use

double quotation marks, the default access control role to use to initiate the
Snowflake session.

This role must already exist and
has been granted to the user ID you are using to connect to Snowflake. If this field
is left empty, the PUBLIC role is automatically granted. For information about
Snowflake access control model, see [Understanding the Access Control
Model](https://docs.snowflake.net/manuals/user-guide/security-access-control.html).

This field is available only when you select Use
this Component from the Connection Component
dropdown list and select Internal from the
Storage dropdown list in the Basic

choice. For more information about Snowflake URL formats, see [Standard account URLs](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/organizations-connect#standard-account-urls).

For Snowflake components other than tSnowflakeConnection, this field is
available when you select Use This Component from the
Connection Component drop-down list in the
Basic settings view. | | Use unquoted object identifiers | Select this checkbox to use unquoted table name and
schema column names. Note that unquoted identifiers need to match the Snowflake
Identifier Syntax. A column name or a table name not conforming to the
Snowflake Identifier Syntax will be quoted even if this checkbox is
selected.

If you deselect the checkbox, all object identifiers are
automatically quoted.

This property is not available when you select the
Manual Query checkbox.

For information about the Snowflake
Identifier Syntax, see [Identifier Requirements](https://docs.snowflake.net/manuals/sql-reference/identifiers-syntax.html). | | Use session timezone | Select this check box to use the time zone of the session instead of the JVM
