Getting started with Snowflake

    Stambia Data Integration allows to work with Snowflake Databases, offering the possibility to produce fully customized Integration Processes.

    In this article, you'll learn to reverse your first Metadata, optionally configure it to use external storages such as Microsoft Azure Storage or Amazon S3 and to produce Mappings or Processes.

    The idea in our examples will be to load data from the demo HSQL Database, and from delimited files, to a Snowflake Database.

    Refer to the presentation article for the download section and the list of supported features.

    Stambia DI for Snowflake

      Stambia Data Integration allows to work with Snowflake, offering the possibility to produce fully customized Integration Processes.

      The database structure can be entirely reversed in Metadata and then used in Mappings and Processes to design and adapt the business rules to meet the user's requirements.

      The connector supports loading data through Snowflake's internal stages or external storages such as Microsoft Azure Storage and Amazon S3.
