Snowflake URI Format

The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) definition for Snowflake follows this standard:

Identifier Fragments

  • Namespace: snowflake://{organization name}-{account name}
    • Scheme = snowflake
    • Authority = {organization name}-{account name}
  • Unique name: {database}.{schema}.{table}

Asset URI Format

  • snowflake://{organization name}-{account name}/{database}.{schema}.{table}

Schema URI Format

  • snowflake://{organization name}-{account name}/{database}.{schema}

Alternative Identifier for Snowflake

  • Snowflake originally identified accounts with an account locator such as xyz12345.eu-west-3.aws. Sifflet also accepts this account locator as the Snowflake authority.
  • The URI then has this format: snowflake://{account locator}/{database}.{schema}.{table}

Parameter Limitations

  • organization name must start with a lowercase or uppercase letter and include only lowercase and uppercase letters and numbers (regex: [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]+)
  • account name must start with a lowercase or uppercase letter and include only lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, underscores and dashes (regex: [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)
  • account locator must start with a lowercase or uppercase letter and include only lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, dots and dashes (regex: [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9.-]+)
  • database, schema and table can have two formats, following Snowflake naming standards: quoted format and unquoted format
    • unquoted identifier must include only lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, underscores and dollars
    • quoted identifier must be enclosed in double quotes (") and must include only characters included in the Unicode range U+0001 to U+FFFF. If a double quote character is present in the name, it needs to be escaped with another double quote character in front of it.
