Explore your Snowflake Account
As you build a pipeline, you can explore your Snowflake account to select the following
types of Snowflake elements that you want to connect to or process:
- Roles
- Warehouses
- Databases
- Schemas
- Tables and views
- Columns
- Snowflake notification integration
Before you can explore your Snowflake account, you must complete the following tasks in
Control Hub:
- Define your Snowflake credentials.
- Define the Snowflake URL in the Snowflake pipeline defaults or in the pipeline properties.
When you explore your Snowflake account, Control Hub
displays all Snowflake elements that your Snowflake credentials grant you access to. You
can browse or search for the element that you want to use.
Note: Control Hub
must pre-load the Snowflake metadata before you can search for elements by name.
Pre-loading the metadata can take some time depending on the size of your Snowflake
warehouse. Pre-loading the metadata does not impact the ability to manually navigate
through the Snowflake elements.
For example, to define the table that the Snowflake Table origin connects to, click the
Select Table icon (
) in the Table tab. Control Hub
displays a dialog box listing all of the tables that you have access to within the
Snowflake warehouse, database, and schema configured for the pipeline. You then browse
or search for the table, as follows:
