Even though we have time travel enabled 'for backup', I want to prevent the PROD_EL_ROLE itself from being able to 'accidentally' DROP tables. AFAIK, this cannot be done directly as the creator of a table in snowflake is also the owner, and thus, is also allowed to drop the table
This is lovely! Great tutorial! Sounds easier to construct than it looked at first glance! I can imagine these white snowflakes in quilt blocks with a variety of colored backgrounds ... to make a big quilt ... someday, when I finish more UFOs!
I created a REST connection with QAA and his works fine. I want to insert the data into a snowflake table. The only two options I have are "insert record" and "insert bulk". Per record is pretty slow (current case) and want to see how "insert bulk" works. My feeling tells me that is maybe faster.
On to today's block. I just love this one! You can make it like I did, with a big crystal at the top of the snowflake, or you can rotate it so a small crystal is at the top. Both styles are equally beautiful. I will be describing my approach in the tips to follow, but you can adjust if you want to make the rotated version.
Here's a sneak peak of just one of the many great blocks made by my fellow quilt along hosts. Don't you just love those Christmas trees!? Click here to see how April made this amazing fussy cut snowflake.
I highly encourage you to check out all of the hosts' posts. Each of our snowflakes is unique, and it might give you some fresh ideas of what you would like to do for your own. Here's the full list with links to their posts:
And now for the prizes! To be eligible to win, you just have to share your completed snowflake before the next block is released.

I can't wait to see your snowflakes! In the meantime, I would love to hear what you think of the block, and what colors you're thinking about using. I'm also here to answer any questions you might have. I always try to respond to each comment personally, as long as you provide your email address when you submit it.
In this mode, the table is ingested by iterating through the records identified by the IDs in the sys_id column. Once allrecords are ingested, the initial load phase is complete. For certain tables, you can also set thedata range start time value which can restrict which records are ingested.
Due to restrictions on the Snowflake and ServiceNow REST APIs, the connector cannot ingesta table if a single row exceeds 10 MB of data. In that case, the connector tries to ingest datawith the frequency defined in the table schedule. If a row exceeds the limit, the connectorgenerates an error message and continues ingesting another table.
By default, the Snowflake Connector for ServiceNow synchronizes all the records in the corresponding ServiceNow tables. For the tables with: sys_updated_on or sys_created_oncolumns (from now on here called time columns) present, it is possible to restrict the range of synchronizeddata by setting a data range start time - i.e. lower bound for the corresponding time column value of the records.
Access control is a set of frameworks and rules for allowing or restricting the ability to access, read, update, create and delete data objects in a database/data warehouse. The data objects include databases, schema, tables, columns, and queries.
Access policies help allow or restrict access to certain data and metadata in Snowflake. Access policies enable you to go granular with access control. There are three kinds of Access policies in Atlan, they are:
A reader asked me to make some of these and sent me some photos of snowflake designs she had made with pattern blocks. I took her designs and made them into printable pattern block mats. Since they were complex snowflakes, I also wanted to add some easier snowflake mats for the younger kids. I also added in the snowflake mat from the Christmas Pattern Block set.
You could use these mats to make designs with regular pattern blocks. You could also use them to make paper snowflakes to make a math craftivity. To do this, photocopy the blackline mats onto light blue paper. Copy a paper pattern block template onto white paper and cut out the pieces. Have children glue the white shapes onto the shapes on the blue paper, and you have math snowflakes!
To ensure data integrity and avoid shadow IT concerns, restrict write access to the production and analytics databases inside Snowflake to only the database owner, central IT, or data engineering teams. This approach only fosters trust in data reliability and also ensures that data is managed by professionals who understand the nuances of data governance, security, and quality. By implementing this measure, the rest of the organization knows precisely how much trust to place in the data they access, distinguishing between data that may require further verification and data that can be considered rock-solid.
The client_session_keep_alive feature is intended to keep Snowflake sessions alive beyond the typical 4 hour timeout limit. The snowflake-connector-python implementation of this feature can prevent processes that use it (read: dbt) from exiting in specific scenarios. If you encounter this in your deployment of dbt, please let us know in the GitHub issue, and work around it by disabling the keepalive.
The retry_on_database_errors flag along with the connect_retries count specification is intended to make retries configurable after the snowflake connector encounters errors of type snowflake.connector.errors.DatabaseError. These retries can be helpful for handling errors of type "JWT token is invalid" when using key pair authentication.
The Koch snowflake (also known as the Koch curve, Koch star, or Koch island[1][2]) is a fractal curve and one of the earliest fractals to have been described. It is based on the Koch curve, which appeared in a 1904 paper titled "On a Continuous Curve Without Tangents, Constructible from Elementary Geometry"[3] by the Swedish mathematician Helge von Koch.
The Koch snowflake can be built up iteratively, in a sequence of stages. The first stage is an equilateral triangle, and each successive stage is formed by adding outward bends to each side of the previous stage, making smaller equilateral triangles. The areas enclosed by the successive stages in the construction of the snowflake converge to 8 5 \displaystyle \tfrac 85 times the area of the original triangle, while the perimeters of the successive stages increase without bound. Consequently, the snowflake encloses a finite area, but has an infinite perimeter.
The Koch snowflake has been constructed as an example of a continuous curve where drawing a tangent line to any point is impossible. Unlike the earlier Weierstrass function where the proof was purely analytical, the Koch snowflake was created to be possible to geometrically represent at the time, so that this property could also be seen through "naive intuition".[3]
The Koch snowflake is the limit approached as the above steps are followed indefinitely. The Koch curve originally described by Helge von Koch is constructed using only one of the three sides of the original triangle. In other words, three Koch curves make a Koch snowflake.
Thus, the area of the Koch snowflake is 8 5 \displaystyle \tfrac 85 of the area of the original triangle. Expressed in terms of the side length s \displaystyle s of the original triangle, this is:[6] 2 s 2 3 5 . \displaystyle \frac 2s^2\sqrt 35.
It is possible to tessellate the plane by copies of Koch snowflakes in two different sizes. However, such a tessellation is not possible using only snowflakes of one size. Since each Koch snowflake in the tessellation can be subdivided into seven smaller snowflakes of two different sizes, it is also possible to find tessellations that use more than two sizes at once.[8] Koch snowflakes and Koch antisnowflakes of the same size may be used to tile the plane.
In this example, we are going to restrict which country data users are allowed to access through a Snowflake row access policy. Due to data localization laws, you need to implement this policy not only for your cross-organizational shares, but also for your internal users. For instance the data owner needs to protect this data internally as well as externally, which is typical with sensitive data.
Without getting into the details of how Snowflake row access policies work, you could build a Snowflake row access policy that restricts users to certain countries. For example, my user only has access to US and JP data, so when I run the exact same query on that table, I now only see US and JP data (take note of the TRANSACTION_COUNTRY column):
This policy would apply to all internal users in the company and could be authored by a policy owner other than you, the person attempting to create the cross-organizational data share. Continuing with our example from earlier, you as the user would be restricted to seeing only US and JP data, no matter what your query is.
Data Clean Rooms (DCRs) are secure environments that enable multiple organizations (or divisions of an organization) to bring data together for joint analysis under defined guidelines and restrictions that keep the data secure. These guidelines control what data comes into the clean room, how the data within the clean room can be joined with other data in the clean room, the kinds of analytics that can be performed on the clean room data, and what data - if any - can leave the clean room environment.
