Snowflake Terraform Provider

⚠️ Please note: If you believe you have found a security issue, please responsibly disclose by contacting us at [email protected].

⚠️ Disclaimer: the project is still in the 0.x.x version, which means it’s still in the experimental phase (check Go module versioning for more details). It can be used in production but makes no stability or backward compatibility guarantees. We do not provide backward bug fixes and, therefore, always suggest using the newest version. We are providing only limited support for the provider; priorities will be assigned on a case-by-case basis.

Our main current goals are stabilization, addressing existing issues, and providing the missing features (prioritizing the GA features; supporting PrPr and PuPr features are not high priorities now).

With all that in mind, we aim to reach V1 with a stable, reliable, and functional provider. V1 will be free of all the above limitations.

This is a terraform provider for managing Snowflake resources.

Getting started

If you're still using the chanzuckerberg/snowflake source, see Upgrading from CZI Provider to upgrade to the current version.

Install the Snowflake Terraform provider by adding a requirement block and a provider block to your Terraform codebase:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    snowflake = {
      source  = "Snowflake-Labs/snowflake"
      version = "~> 0.61"
    }
  }
}

provider "snowflake" {
  account  = "abc12345" # the Snowflake account identifier
  user     = "johndoe"
  password = "v3ry$3cr3t"
  role     = "ACCOUNTADMIN"
}

For more information on provider configuration see the provider docs on the Terraform registry.

Don't forget to run terraform init and you're ready to go! 🚀

Start browsing the registry docs to find resources and data sources to use.

SDK migration table

This table represents the current state of SDK migration from pkg/snowflake to pkg/sdk package. The goal of migration is to support every Snowflake feature with more type safe API and use it in every resource / datasource.

SDK implementation status - indicates if given object has been migrated into new SDK.

Migration status - indicates if given resource / datasource is using new SDK.

✅ - done
❌ - not started
👨‍💻 - in progress
🟨 - partially done

Getting Help

Some links that might help you:

• The introductory tutorial shows how to set up your Snowflake account for Terraform (service user, role, authentication, etc) and how to create your first resources in Terraform.
• The docs on the Terraform registry are a complete reference of all resources and data sources supported and contain more advanced examples.
• The discussions area of this repo, we use this forum to discuss new features and changes to the provider.
• If you are an enterprise customer, reach out to your account team. This helps us prioritize issues.
• The issues section might already have an issue addressing your question.

Additional debug logs for snowflake_grant_privileges_to_role resource

Set environment variable SF_TF_ADDITIONAL_DEBUG_LOGGING to a non-empty value. Additional logs will be visible with sf-tf-additional-debug prefix, e.g.:

2023/12/08 12:58:22.497078 sf-tf-additional-debug [DEBUG] Creating new client from db

Additional SQL Client configuration

Currently underlying sql gosnowflake driver is wrapped with instrumentedsql. In order to use raw gosnowflake driver, set environment variable SF_TF_NO_INSTRUMENTED_SQL to a non-empty value.

By default, the underlying driver is set to error level logging. It can be changed by setting SF_TF_GOSNOWFLAKE_LOG_LEVEL to one of:

• panic
• fatal
• error
• warn
• warning
• info
• debug
• trace

note: It's possible it will be one of the provider config parameters in the future provider versions.
