Snowflake

Connect a Snowflake data warehouse to Lakehousecat using a connection URI.

Availability

This datasource type is being rolled out and is not yet selectable when you create a datasource. This page describes the intended connection method.

Connection Fields

Field	Required	Description
Connection URI	Yes	Full connection string including account identifier, user, password, and database. Example: snowflake://user:password@account.snowflakecomputing.com/database?warehouse=COMPUTE_WH
Use SSH	No	Enable to connect through an SSH bastion host.

Prerequisites

• Admin or Builder role in Lakehousecat
• A Snowflake user with USAGE privilege on the target database, schema, and warehouse
• The Snowflake account identifier (e.g., xy12345.us-east-1)

Notes

• Include ?warehouse=YOUR_WAREHOUSE in the URI if the user does not have a default warehouse configured.
• Use a dedicated read-only role to limit access to the intended schemas and tables.
• For large warehouses, configure schema and table filters in the Filters tab after creation.
