<!-- MDOC !-->
Snowflake driver for Elixir.
Documentation: <https://hginsights.github.io/snowpack>
## Features
- Automatic decoding and encoding of Elixir values to and from Snowflake's ODBC driver formats
- Supports transactions, prepared queries, streaming, pooling and more via
[DBConnection](https://github.com/elixir-ecto/db_connection)
- Supports Snowflake ODBC Drivers 2.24.7+
## Usage
Add `:snowpack` to your dependencies:
```elixir
def deps() do
[
{:snowpack, "~> 0.5.0"}
]
end
```
Make sure you are using the latest version!
```elixir
opts = [
connection: [
role: "DEV",
warehouse: System.get_env("SNOWFLAKE_WH"),
uid: System.get_env("SNOWFLAKE_UID"),
pwd: System.get_env("SNOWFLAKE_PWD")
]
]
{:ok, pid} = Snowpack.start_link(opts)
Snowpack.query!(pid, "select current_user()")
Snowpack.query(pid, "SELECT * FROM data")
{:ok,
%Snowpack.Result{
columns: ["id", "title"],
num_rows: 3,
rows: [[1, "Data 1"], [2, "Data 2"], [3, "Data 3"]]
}}
```
It's recommended to start Snowpack under a supervision tree:
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Application do
use Application
def start(_type, _args) do
children = [
{Snowpack, uid: "snowflake-uid", name: :snowpack}
]
opts = [strategy: :one_for_one, name: MyApp.Supervisor]
Supervisor.start_link(children, opts)
end
end
```
and then we can refer to it by its `:name`:
```elixir
Snowpack.query!(:snowpack, "SELECT NOW()").rows
[[~N[2018-12-28 13:42:31]]]
```
## Data representation
```
Snowflake ODBC Elixir
----- ------
NULL nil
bool true | false
int 42
float 42.0
decimal 42.0 # (1)
date ~D[2013-10-12]
time ~T[00:37:14]
datetime ~N[2013-10-12 00:37:14] # (2)
timestamp ~U[2013-10-12 00:37:14Z] # (2)
char "é"
text "snowpack"
binary <<1, 2, 3>>
bit <<1::size(1), 0::size(1)>>
array [1, 2, 3]
object %{key: "value"}
```
Notes:
1. See [Decimal](https://github.com/ericmj/decimal)
2. Datetime fields are represented as `NaiveDateTime`, however a UTC `DateTime` can be used for encoding as well.
