Snowflake SQL, data pipelines, Cortex AI, and Snowpark Python development. Covers the colon-prefix rule, semi-structured data, MERGE upserts, Dynamic Tables, Streams+Tasks, Cortex AI functions, agent specs, performance tuning, and security hardening.

# Generate a MERGE upsert template

snake_case for all identifiers. Avoid double-quoted identifiers -- they force case-sensitive names that require constant quoting.WITH clauses) over nested subqueries.CREATE OR REPLACE for idempotent DDL.SELECT * in production. Snowflake's columnar storage scans only referenced columns, so explicit lists reduce I/O.In SQL stored procedures (BEGIN...END blocks), variables and parameters must use the colon : prefix inside SQL statements. Without it, Snowflake treats them as column identifiers and raises "invalid identifier" errors.
-- WRONG: missing colon prefix
SELECT name INTO result FROM users WHERE id = p_id;
-- CORRECT: colon prefix on both variable and parameter
SELECT name INTO :result FROM users WHERE id = :p_id;
This applies to DECLARE variables, LET variables, and procedure parameters when used inside SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or MERGE.
src:customer.name::STRING. Always cast with ::TYPE.null is stored as the string "null". Use STRIP_NULL_VALUE = TRUE on load.SELECT f.value:name::STRING FROM my_table, LATERAL FLATTEN(input => src:items) f;MERGE INTO target t USING source s ON t.id = s.id
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET t.name = s.name, t.updated_at = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (id, name, updated_at) VALUES (s.id, s.name, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP());

references/snowflake_sql_and_pipelines.mdfor deeper SQL patterns and anti-patterns.
| Approach | When to Use |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Tables | Declarative transformations. Default choice. Define the query, Snowflake handles refresh. |
| Streams + Tasks | Imperative CDC. Use for procedural logic, stored procedure calls, complex branching. |
| Snowpipe | Continuous file loading from cloud storage (S3, GCS, Azure). |
CREATE OR REPLACE DYNAMIC TABLE cleaned_events
TARGET_LAG = '5 minutes'
WAREHOUSE = transform_wh
AS
SELECT event_id, event_type, user_id, event_timestamp
FROM raw_events
WHERE event_type IS NOT NULL;
Key rules:
TARGET_LAG progressively: tighter at the top of the DAG, looser downstream.SELECT * breaks on upstream schema changes -- use explicit column lists.CREATE OR REPLACE STREAM raw_stream ON TABLE raw_events;
CREATE OR REPLACE TASK process_events
WAREHOUSE = transform_wh
SCHEDULE = 'USING CRON 0 */1 * * * America/Los_Angeles'

AS INSERT INTO cleaned_events SELECT ... FROM raw_stream;

| Function | Purpose |
|---|---|
AI_COMPLETE | LLM completion (text, images, documents) |
AI_CLASSIFY | Classify text into categories (up to 500 labels) |
AI_FILTER | Boolean filter on text or images |
AI_EXTRACT | Structured extraction from text/images/documents |
AI_SENTIMENT | Sentiment score (-1 to 1) |
AI_PARSE_DOCUMENT | OCR or layout extraction from documents |
AI_REDACT | PII removal from text |
Deprecated names (do NOT use): COMPLETE, CLASSIFY_TEXT, EXTRACT_ANSWER, PARSE_DOCUMENT, SUMMARIZE, TRANSLATE, SENTIMENT, EMBED_TEXT_768.
Stage path and filename are separate arguments:
-- WRONG: single combined argument
TO_FILE('@stage/file.pdf')
-- CORRECT: two arguments
TO_FILE('@db.schema.mystage', 'invoice.pdf')
Agent specs use a JSON structure with top-level keys: models, instructions, tools, tool_resources.
$spec$ delimiter (not $$).models must be an object, not an array.tool_resources is a separate top-level key, not nested inside tools.See

|---|---|---|
SELECT * in Dynamic Tables | Schema changes upstream break the DT silently | Use explicit column lists |
| Missing colon prefix in procedures | "Invalid identifier" runtime error | Always use :variable_name in SQL blocks |
| Single warehouse for all workloads | Contention between load, transform, and query | Separate warehouses per workload type |
| Hardcoded credentials in Snowpark | Security risk, breaks in CI/CD | Use os.environ[] or key pair auth |
collect() on large DataFrames | Pulls entire result set to client memory | Process server-side with DataFrame operations |
| Nested subqueries instead of CTEs | Unreadable, hard to debug, Snowflake optimizes CTEs better | Use WITH clauses |
| Using deprecated Cortex functions | CLASSIFY_TEXT, SUMMARIZE etc. will be removed | Use AI_CLASSIFY, AI_COMPLETE etc. |
Tasks without WHEN SYSTEM$STREAM_HAS_DATA | Task runs on schedule even with no new data, wasting credits | Add the WHEN clause for stream-driven tasks |
| Double-quoted identifiers | Forces case-sensitive names across all queries | Use snake_case unquoted identifiers |
