SnowSQL

Snowflake's legacy command-line client for executing SQL and PUT/GET file transfers; the newer Snowflake CLI is its successor.

Definition

SnowSQL or the Snowflake CLI is required for PUT to upload local files to internal stages, because the web UI is limited to small file loads.

Example

snowsql -a myorg-myacct -u ana -q "PUT file://data.csv @~/staged"

Exam tip

PUT from a local machine requires a client such as SnowSQL or the Snowflake CLI, not a plain worksheet.
