Look at the native connection in the Project repository.
Find the Metadata section and locate the
Snowflake icon.
Right-click and select the Create Snowflake menu
option.
This opens the Connection definition dialog box.
Give the connection definition a Name, enter the
Account, User Id,
Password, Warehouse Name,
Schema (typically PUBLIC), and a
Database Name.
Initially the parameters are filled in manually to establish a valid
connection, but it is a best practice to convert this into a Context Group with
variables assigned to the connection parameters.
Click Advanced, then ensure that the Login
Timeout, Tracing, and
Role settings are suitable.
Click OK.
The following example shows the dialog box once it has been exported as a
Context Group.
Once a context group is created, test each connection to ensure validity.
It is advisable to test connections before exporting them as a context,
however once the context group is created, you can set up different contexts
by environment (a best practice).
A dialog box appears indicating when the Snowflake database connection
is valid.
Once a valid connection is made, click Next.
Select the tables of interest then click Finish.
Results
The result is a Snowflake connection definition usable in Talend Jobs that allows access to the selected
tables. You can see these listed in the Project Repository under the connection
definition.
