Python on Snowflake: Create and Populate a Database and Retrieve Data

Python on Snowflake: Create and Populate a Database and Retrieve Data

In this episode we return to our Python on Snowflake playlist for our second installment to show how to create a warehouse, database, schema, and a table for us to populate and retrieve data from, using the Snowflake Connector for Python. Though Snowflake has many different ways to connect, Python is my favorite since it the language I use the most for big data platforms.

If you didn’t see the first video, make sure to go back and review it, as it will show you how to get set up to use the Snowflake Connector for Python. Then you’ll be free to use Python for all of your automation.

How many of you are starting a big data project?

Bro, I can not put into words how good are your videos, they are really helpful
Tks from Brazil!

Dear Sean, please create a video on how to extract the data from snowflake using queries which is in json file and crate a file for connection and create another file for extraction.

I like your videos. I was hoping that you would include an example of how to populate a Snowflake table using local data. Maybe running a PUT command to populate a SF stage then updating the table from the @stage. I am not sure if the SF connector can execute a PUT statement or if you need to run a SNOWSQL script from within SF. I was hoping to avoid SNOWSQL. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the video. How would you use python to clean/prepare data stored in snowflake and then create a new table in snowflake with the cleaned data?
Would you even recommend cleaning/preparing data like this or rather doing it another way?
With cleaning I mean find and replace, regex extraction, other string operation, flagging, dropping rows/columns etc.
I am a data analyst and not an engineer so the preparation would be more of adhoc nature.
Thanks

Hi Sean I'm new to python I need some inputs from you regarding my project requirement. I need a python that automates the process creating DB, schema, warehouse, creating users and grants role to the users. certain users use read role and certain uses read write role. all for future grants. can you please help me with this ?

can we do the same thing on jupyter notebook?
