# Snowflake Integration
Semantica features a native integration with **Snowflake**, the powerful cloud data warehouse that enables scalable data storage and analytics for enterprise workloads.
## Overview
Snowflake is integrated into Semantica's `ingest` module via the `SnowflakeIngestor`. This allows you to seamlessly extract structured data from Snowflake tables and queries into semantic structures that can be indexed, searched, and analyzed within the Semantica framework.
- 📖 **Semantica Snowflake Integration Docs**: [Reference Guide](../reference/ingest.md)
- 💻 **Semantica Snowflake Integration GitHub**: [Source Code](https://github.com/Hawksight-AI/semantica/blob/main/semantica/ingest/snowflake_ingestor.py)
- 🧑🏽‍🍳 **Semantica Snowflake Integration Example**: [Snowflake Clear Code Example](../CodeExamples.md#snowflake-clear-code-example)
- 📦 **Semantica Snowflake Integration PyPI**: [Installation Guide](../installation.md)
---
## 📖 Integration Documentation
The `SnowflakeIngestor` provides a high-level interface for Snowflake data ingestion. It supports:
* **Multiple Authentication Methods**: Password, key-pair, OAuth, and SSO authentication.
* **Advanced Querying**: Custom SQL queries with parameterization and batching.
* **Schema Introspection**: Automatic table schema discovery and metadata extraction.
* **Document Export**: Convert Snowflake data to Semantica document format.
### Basic Usage
```python
from semantica.ingest import SnowflakeIngestor
# Initialize with environment variables
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor()
# Ingest a table
data = ingestor.ingest_table("CUSTOMERS")
# Access the structured data
print(f"Retrieved {data.row_count} rows")
print(f"Columns: {data.columns}")
```
For more details, see the [Ingest Reference](../reference/ingest.md).
---
## 🧑🏽‍🍳 Integration Example
We provide a detailed cookbook and clear code examples to help you get started quickly.
### Snowflake Clear Code Example
```python
from semantica.ingest import SnowflakeIngestor
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
# 1. Load environment variables
load_dotenv()
# 2. Initialize the Snowflake Ingestor
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT"),
user=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_USER"),
password=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD"),
warehouse=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE"),
database=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_DATABASE"),
schema=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_SCHEMA")
)
# 3. Ingest a table with filters
data = ingestor.ingest_table(
"CUSTOMERS",
where="COUNTRY = 'USA' AND CREATED_DATE > '2024-01-01'",
order_by="CREATED_DATE DESC",
limit=10000
)
# 4. Access the structured data
print(f"--- Customer Data ---")
print(f"Retrieved {data.row_count} customers")
print(f"Columns: {data.columns}")
# 5. Iterate through rows
for row in data.data[:5]: # Print first 5 rows
print(f"Customer: {row['NAME']} ({row['EMAIL']})")
# 6. Export as documents for Semantica processing
documents = ingestor.export_as_documents(
data,
id_field="CUSTOMER_ID",
text_fields=["NAME", "EMAIL", "NOTES"]
)
print(f"Created {len(documents)} documents for processing")
```

## 📦 PyPI & Installation
Snowflake connector is an optional dependency for Semantica. You can install it along with Semantica or as a separate requirement.
### Install via Semantica
```bash
# Install with Snowflake support
pip install semantica[db-snowflake]
# Or install with all database connectors
pip install semantica[db-all]
```
### Install Snowflake connector manually
If you are working in a custom environment:
```bash
pip install snowflake-connector-python
```
For full installation details, see the [Installation Guide](../installation.md).
---
## 🔐 Authentication Methods
Snowflake integration supports multiple authentication methods for different security requirements:
### Password Authentication
```python
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
password="mypassword",
warehouse="COMPUTE_WH"
)
```
### Key-Pair Authentication (Recommended for Production)
```python
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
private_key_path="/path/to/rsa_key.p8",
warehouse="COMPUTE_WH"
)
```
### OAuth Authentication
```python
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
authenticator="oauth",
token="your_oauth_token",
warehouse="COMPUTE_WH"
)
```
### SSO Authentication
```python
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
authenticator="externalbrowser",
warehouse="COMPUTE_WH"
)
```
---
## 🚀 Advanced Features
### Schema Introspection
```python
# Get table schema
schema = ingestor.get_table_schema("CUSTOMERS")
for column in schema["columns"]:
print(f"{column['name']}: {column['type']}")
```
### Custom Queries
```python
# Execute custom SQL
data = ingestor.ingest_query("""
SELECT
CUSTOMER_ID,
SUM(AMOUNT) AS TOTAL_AMOUNT
FROM SALES
WHERE DATE >= '2024-01-01'
GROUP BY CUSTOMER_ID
""")
```
### Batch Processing
```python
# Handle large result sets
data = ingestor.ingest_query(
"SELECT * FROM LARGE_TABLE",
batch_size=5000
)
```
---
## 📊 Best Practices
### Use Environment Variables
```python
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor() # Reads from environment
```
### Use Key-Pair Authentication for Production
```python
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT"),
user=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_USER"),
private_key_path=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH"),
warehouse="COMPUTE_WH"
)
```
### Paginate Large Results
```python
PAGE_SIZE = 10000
for page in range(total_pages):
data = ingestor.ingest_table(
"LARGE_TABLE",
limit=PAGE_SIZE,
offset=page * PAGE_SIZE
)
process_batch(data)
```
---
## 🔍 Troubleshooting
### Connection Issues
```python
# Test connection
connector = SnowflakeConnector(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
password="mypassword"
)
if not connector.test_connection():
print("Connection failed - check credentials")
```
### Performance Optimization
```python
# Use appropriate warehouse size
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
password="mypassword",
warehouse="LARGE_WH" # For heavy workloads
)
```

- [Installation](#installation)
- [Authentication Methods](#authentication-methods)
- [Basic Usage](#basic-usage)
- [Advanced Features](#advanced-features)
- [Error Handling](#error-handling)
- [Best Practices](#best-practices)
## Installation
Install Semantica with Snowflake support:
```bash
# Install with Snowflake support only
pip install semantica[db-snowflake]
# Or install with all database connectors
pip install semantica[db-all]
```
This will install:
- `snowflake-connector-python>=3.0.0`
- `cryptography>=3.4.0` (required for key-pair authentication)
## Authentication Methods
### 1. Password Authentication (Default)
The simplest authentication method using username and password:
```python
from semantica.ingest import SnowflakeIngestor
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account="myaccount", # Your Snowflake account identifier
user="myuser",
password="mypassword",
warehouse="COMPUTE_WH",
database="MYDB",
schema="PUBLIC"
)
```
**Environment Variables:**
```bash
export SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT="myaccount"
export SNOWFLAKE_USER="myuser"
export SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD="mypassword"
export SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE="COMPUTE_WH"
export SNOWFLAKE_DATABASE="MYDB"
export SNOWFLAKE_SCHEMA="PUBLIC"
```
**Note:** For key-pair authentication, you must provide the `private_key_path` parameter directly in code. Environment variables are supported for account, user, warehouse, database, schema, role, authenticator, and token parameters.
```python
# Now you can omit supported parameters - they'll be read from environment
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor()
```
### 2. Key-Pair Authentication
More secure authentication using RSA key pairs:
**Generate Key Pair:**
```bash
# Generate private key
openssl genrsa 2048 | openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -out rsa_key.p8 -nocrypt
# Generate public key
openssl rsa -in rsa_key.p8 -pubout -out rsa_key.pub
```
**Add public key to Snowflake:**
```sql
ALTER USER myuser SET RSA_PUBLIC_KEY='MIIBIjANBgkqh...';
```
**Use in Python:**
```python
from semantica.ingest import SnowflakeIngestor
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
private_key_path="/path/to/rsa_key.p8",
warehouse="COMPUTE_WH",
database="MYDB"
)
```
**With encrypted private key:**
```python
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
private_key_path="/path/to/rsa_key.p8",
private_key_passphrase="my_passphrase",
warehouse="COMPUTE_WH"
)
```
### 3. OAuth Authentication
Use OAuth tokens for authentication:
```python
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
authenticator="oauth",
token="your_oauth_token",
warehouse="COMPUTE_WH"
)
```
### 4. SSO Authentication (External Browser)
For organizations using SSO:
```python
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
authenticator="externalbrowser",
warehouse="COMPUTE_WH"
)
# This will open a browser for SSO login
```
## Basic Usage
### Ingest a Table
```python
from semantica.ingest import SnowflakeIngestor
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
password="mypassword",
warehouse="COMPUTE_WH",
database="MYDB",
schema="PUBLIC"
)
# Ingest entire table
data = ingestor.ingest_table("CUSTOMERS")
print(f"Retrieved {data.row_count} rows")
print(f"Columns: {data.columns}")
print(f"First row: {data.data[0]}")
```
### Ingest with Filters
```python
# With WHERE clause
data = ingestor.ingest_table(
"CUSTOMERS",
where="COUNTRY = 'USA' AND CREATED_DATE > '2024-01-01'"
)
# With limit and offset for pagination
data = ingestor.ingest_table(
"CUSTOMERS",
limit=10000,
offset=0,
order_by="CREATED_DATE DESC"
)
```
### Execute Custom Queries
```python
# Simple query
data = ingestor.ingest_query("""
SELECT
CUSTOMER_ID,
SUM(AMOUNT) AS TOTAL_AMOUNT
FROM SALES
WHERE DATE >= '2024-01-01'
GROUP BY CUSTOMER_ID
HAVING SUM(AMOUNT) > 1000
""")
# Parameterized query
data = ingestor.ingest_query(
"SELECT * FROM SALES WHERE DATE > %(start_date)s AND REGION = %(region)s",
params={
"start_date": "2024-01-01",
"region": "WEST"
}
)
```
### Large Result Sets with Batching
```python
# Fetch in batches to manage memory
data = ingestor.ingest_query(
"SELECT * FROM LARGE_TABLE",
batch_size=5000 # Fetch 5000 rows at a time
)
print(f"Total rows: {data.row_count}")
```
## Advanced Features
### Schema Introspection
```python
# Get table schema
schema = ingestor.get_table_schema("CUSTOMERS")
for column in schema["columns"]:
print(f"{column['name']}: {column['type']} (nullable: {column['nullable']})")
print(f"Primary keys: {schema['primary_keys']}")
```
### List All Tables
```python
# List tables in current schema
tables = ingestor.list_tables()
print(f"Found {len(tables)} tables: {tables}")
# List tables in specific database/schema
tables = ingestor.list_tables(database="OTHER_DB", schema="OTHER_SCHEMA")
```
### Export as Documents
Convert Snowflake data to Semantica document format:
```python
# Ingest data
data = ingestor.ingest_table("ARTICLES")
# Convert to documents
documents = ingestor.export_as_documents(
data,
id_field="ARTICLE_ID",
text_fields=["TITLE", "CONTENT", "SUMMARY"]
)
# Now use in Semantica pipeline
from semantica.pipeline import Pipeline
pipeline = Pipeline()
for doc in documents:
pipeline.process_document(doc)
```
### Context Manager
Use as a context manager for automatic connection cleanup:
```python
with SnowflakeIngestor(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
password="mypassword"
) as ingestor:
data = ingestor.ingest_table("CUSTOMERS")
# Connection automatically closed on exit
```
### Multiple Schemas/Databases
```python
# Ingest from different databases and schemas
data1 = ingestor.ingest_table(
"CUSTOMERS",
database="SALES_DB",
schema="PROD"
)
data2 = ingestor.ingest_table(
"ORDERS",
database="SALES_DB",
schema="STAGING"
)
```
## Error Handling
```python
from semantica.utils.exceptions import ProcessingError, ValidationError
try:
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
password="wrong_password"
)
data = ingestor.ingest_table("CUSTOMERS")
except ValidationError as e:
print(f"Configuration error: {e}")
except ProcessingError as e:
print(f"Processing failed: {e}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Unexpected error: {e}")
```
### Test Connection
```python
# Test connection before using
connector = SnowflakeConnector(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
password="mypassword"
)
if connector.test_connection():
print("Connection successful!")
else:
print("Connection failed")
```
## Best Practices
### 1. Use Environment Variables for Credentials
**Don't:**
```python
# Hard-coded credentials (bad!)
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
password="mypassword123"
)
```
**Do:**
```python
# Use environment variables
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor() # Reads from environment
```
### 2. Use Key-Pair Authentication for Production
Key-pair authentication is more secure than passwords:
```python
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
private_key_path=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH"),
warehouse="COMPUTE_WH"
)
```
### 3. Paginate Large Result Sets
```python
# Don't fetch millions of rows at once
PAGE_SIZE = 10000
for page in range(total_pages):
data = ingestor.ingest_table(
"LARGE_TABLE",
limit=PAGE_SIZE,
offset=page * PAGE_SIZE
)
process_batch(data)
```
### 4. Use Query Filters
Push filtering to Snowflake instead of filtering in Python:
**Don't:**
```python
# Fetching all rows and filtering in Python (inefficient)
all_data = ingestor.ingest_table("CUSTOMERS")
filtered = [row for row in all_data.data if row["COUNTRY"] == "USA"]
```
**Do:**
```python
# Filter in Snowflake (efficient)
data = ingestor.ingest_table("CUSTOMERS", where="COUNTRY = 'USA'")
```
### 5. Set Appropriate Warehouse Size
```python
# Use appropriate warehouse for workload
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
password="mypassword",
warehouse="LARGE_WH" # For heavy workloads
)
```
### 6. Close Connections
```python
# Always close connections when done
try:
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(...)
data = ingestor.ingest_table("CUSTOMERS")
finally:
ingestor.close()
# Or use context manager
with SnowflakeIngestor(...) as ingestor:
data = ingestor.ingest_table("CUSTOMERS")
```
## Examples
### Example 1: ETL Pipeline
```python
from semantica.ingest import SnowflakeIngestor
from semantica.pipeline import Pipeline
# Initialize ingestor
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor()
# Extract data
sales_data = ingestor.ingest_query("""
SELECT
s.ORDER_ID,
s.CUSTOMER_ID,
c.CUSTOMER_NAME,
s.PRODUCT_ID,
p.PRODUCT_NAME,
s.AMOUNT,
s.ORDER_DATE
FROM SALES s
JOIN CUSTOMERS c ON s.CUSTOMER_ID = c.ID
JOIN PRODUCTS p ON s.PRODUCT_ID = p.ID
WHERE s.ORDER_DATE >= CURRENT_DATE - 30
""")
# Transform to documents
documents = ingestor.export_as_documents(
sales_data,
id_field="ORDER_ID",
text_fields=["CUSTOMER_NAME", "PRODUCT_NAME"]
)
# Load into Semantica
pipeline = Pipeline()
pipeline.process_documents(documents)
```
### Example 2: Multi-Table Ingestion
```python
from semantica.ingest import SnowflakeIngestor
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor()
# Get all tables
tables = ingestor.list_tables()
# Ingest each table
for table_name in tables:
print(f"Ingesting {table_name}...")
# Get schema first
schema = ingestor.get_table_schema(table_name)
# Ingest with limit
data = ingestor.ingest_table(table_name, limit=1000)
# Process data
process_table(table_name, data, schema)
```
### Example 3: Incremental Loading
```python
import datetime
from semantica.ingest import SnowflakeIngestor
ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor()
# Get last load timestamp
last_load = get_last_load_timestamp() # Your function
# Ingest only new/updated records
data = ingestor.ingest_table(
"CUSTOMERS",
where=f"UPDATED_AT > '{last_load}'",
order_by="UPDATED_AT ASC"
)
print(f"Loaded {data.row_count} new/updated records")
# Update last load timestamp
set_last_load_timestamp(datetime.datetime.now())
```
## Troubleshooting
### Connection Issues
```python
# Enable verbose logging
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
# Test connection
connector = SnowflakeConnector(
account="myaccount",
user="myuser",
password="mypassword"
)
if not connector.test_connection():
print("Connection failed - check credentials and network")
```
### Large Query Timeouts
```python
# Use batching for large queries
data = ingestor.ingest_query(
"SELECT * FROM VERY_LARGE_TABLE",
batch_size=10000 # Fetch in batches
)
```
### Memory Issues with Large Results
```python
# Process in chunks instead of loading all at once
CHUNK_SIZE = 10000
offset = 0
while True:
chunk = ingestor.ingest_table(
"LARGE_TABLE",
limit=CHUNK_SIZE,
offset=offset
)
if chunk.row_count == 0:
break
process_chunk(chunk)
offset += CHUNK_SIZE
```
