Query Snowflake	Snowflake	Use [`sql.from()`](/flux/v0/stdlib/sql/from/) with the `snowflake` driver to query Snowflake.	flux_v0 name parent Snowflake SQL databases	101	/flux/v0/stdlib/sql/from/	```js import "sql" sql.from( driverName: "snowflake", dataSourceName: "user:password@account/db/exampleschema?warehouse=wh", query: "SELECT * FROM example_table", ) ```

To query Snowflake with Flux:

1. Import the sql package.

2. Use sql.from() and provide the following parameters:

   • driverName: snowflake
   • dataSourceName: See data source name
   • query: SQL query to execute

import "sql"

sql.from(
    driverName: "snowflake",
    dataSourceName: "user:password@account/db/exampleschema?warehouse=wh",
    query: "SELECT * FROM example_table",
)

Snowflake data source name

The snowflake driver uses the following DSN syntaxes (also known as a connection string):

username[:password]@accountname/dbname/schemaname?param1=value1&paramN=valueN
username[:password]@accountname/dbname?param1=value1&paramN=valueN
username[:password]@hostname:port/dbname/schemaname?account=<your_account>&param1=value1&paramN=valueN

Snowflake to Flux data type conversion

sql.from() converts Snowflake data types to Flux data types.

Snowflake data type	Flux data type
FIXED, NUMBER	int or float (depending on decimal size)
REAL, FLOAT	float
TIMESTAMP_TZ, TIMESTAMP_LTZ	time
BOOLEAN	bool

{{% caption %}} All other Snowflake data types (including TIMESTAMP_NTZ, DATE and TIME) are converted to strings. {{% /caption %}}
