This repository contains a hands-on lab for data engineering in Snowflake with Snowpark! Here is an overview of what we'll build in this lab:

Note: The following features/tools used in this lab are still in preview

• Visual Studio Code
• Snowflake Visual Studio Code Extension
• snowcli

You will need the following things before beginning:

• Snowflake
  • A Snowflake Account
  • A Snowflake user created with ACCOUNTADMIN permissions. This user will be used to get things setup in Snowflake.
• Anaconda
  • Anaconda installed on your computer. Check out the Anaconda Installation instructions for the details.
• SnowSQL

  • SnowSQL installed on your computer. Go to the SnowSQL Download page and see the Installing SnowSQL page for more details.

  • Create a SnowSQL configuration for this lab by adding the following section to your ~/.snowsql/config file (replacing the account, username, and password with your values):

    [connections.dev]
    account = myaccount
    username = myusername
    password = mypassword
    rolename = HOL_ROLE
    warehousename = HOL_WH
    dbname = HOL_DB
    

• Visual Studio Code with required extensions
  • Visual Studio Code installed on your computer. Check out the Visual Studio Code homepage for a link to the download page.
  • Python extension installed. Search for and install the "Python" extension in the Extensions pane in VS Code.
  • Snowflake extension installed. Search for and install the "Snowflake" extension in the Extensions pane in VS Code.
• GitHub account with lab repository forked and cloned locally
  • A GitHub account. If you don't already have a GitHub account you can create one for free. Visit the Join GitHub page to get started.
  • A forked lab repository. You'll need to create a fork of this lab repository in your GitHub account. Visit the tko-data-engineering GitHub Repository and click on the "Fork" button near the top right. Complete any required fields and click "Create Fork".
  • A local clone of the forked lab repository. For connection details about your Git repository, open the Repository and copy the "HTTPS" link provided near the top of the page. If you have at least one file in your repository then click on the green "Code" icon near the top of the page and copy the "HTTPS" link. Use that link in VS Code to clone the repo to your computer. Please follow the instructions at Clone and use a GitHub repository in Visual Studio Code for more details.
• Anaconda environment

  • Create and active a conda environment for this lab using the supplied conda_env.yml file. Run these commands from a terminal in the root of your local repository.

    conda env create -f conda_env.yml
    conda activate pysnowpark
