Snowflake

The Snowflake connector is based on the Snowflake Node.js Driver package and is installed automatically with the Katalogue backend API service.

Authentication with username and password is supported.

By default, Katalogue requires read access to the following resources:

  • INFORMATION_SCHEMA.DATABASES
  • INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA
  • INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS
  • INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
  • INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
  • INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_STORAGE_METRICS
  • SHOW PRIMARY KEYS command
  • SHOW EXPORTED KEYS command

Note that other permissions might be required if custom import queries are used.

The Snowflake connector does not provide dataset/table lineage out of the box.
