SnowflakeOperator

Use the SnowflakeOperator to execute SQL commands in a Snowflake database.

Using the Operator

Use the snowflake_conn_id argument to connect to your Snowflake instance where the connection metadata is structured as follows:

Snowflake Airflow Connection Metadata

Parameter

Input

Login: string

Snowflake user name

Password: string

Password for Snowflake user

Schema: string

Set schema to execute SQL operations on by default

Extra: dictionary

warehouse, account, database, region, role, authenticator

An example usage of the SnowflakeOperator is as follows:

airflow/providers/snowflake/example_dags/example_snowflake.pyView Source


snowflake_op_sql_str = SnowflakeOperator(
    task_id='snowflake_op_sql_str',
    dag=dag,
    snowflake_conn_id=SNOWFLAKE_CONN_ID,
    sql=CREATE_TABLE_SQL_STRING,
    warehouse=SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE,
    database=SNOWFLAKE_DATABASE,
    schema=SNOWFLAKE_SCHEMA,
    role=SNOWFLAKE_ROLE,
)

snowflake_op_with_params = SnowflakeOperator(
    task_id='snowflake_op_with_params',
    dag=dag,
    snowflake_conn_id=SNOWFLAKE_CONN_ID,
    sql=SQL_INSERT_STATEMENT,
    parameters={"id": 56},
    warehouse=SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE,
    database=SNOWFLAKE_DATABASE,
    schema=SNOWFLAKE_SCHEMA,
    role=SNOWFLAKE_ROLE,
)

snowflake_op_sql_list = SnowflakeOperator(
    task_id='snowflake_op_sql_list', dag=dag, snowflake_conn_id=SNOWFLAKE_CONN_ID, sql=SQL_LIST
)

snowflake_op_template_file = SnowflakeOperator(
    task_id='snowflake_op_template_file',
    dag=dag,
    snowflake_conn_id=SNOWFLAKE_CONN_ID,
    sql='/path/to/sql/<filename>.sql',
)

Note

Parameters that can be passed onto the operator will be given priority over the parameters already given in the Airflow connection metadata (such as schema, role, database and so forth).
