I’m looking for an easy way to transfer data from Snowflake to Google Sheets without too much hassle. Are there any built-in features in Snowflake that can help with this?
I’d prefer not to set up a complicated system with cron jobs and AWS infrastructure just to move some query results into a spreadsheet. It would be great if there was something similar to Snowpipe that could handle this task.
Has anyone found a simple solution for this? Any tips or suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks in advance for your input!
yo, have u tried using zapier? it’s pretty dope for connecting stuff like snowflake n google sheets. u can set it up to automatically move data whenever u want. no need for fancy aws setups or anything. just connect ur accounts n boom, ur good to go. might be worth checkin out
I’ve had success using the Snowflake Connector for Python to export data to Google Sheets. It’s a straightforward process that doesn’t require complex infrastructure. You can write a simple Python script that connects to Snowflake, runs your query, and then uses the Google Sheets API to upload the results.
The initial setup involves installing the necessary libraries and setting up authentication, but once that’s done, it’s pretty smooth sailing. You can even schedule the script to run periodically using basic task scheduling tools like Windows Task Scheduler or cron on Unix systems.
What I like about this method is the flexibility it offers. You can easily modify the script to handle different queries or data transformations before sending to Sheets. It’s also cost-effective since you’re not relying on paid third-party services. Just remember to handle your credentials securely if you’re automating the process.
I’ve found that utilizing the Snowflake ODBC driver in combination with Google Apps Script can be an effective method for exporting data to Google Sheets. This approach allows for scheduled data transfers without the need for external services. You’ll need to set up the ODBC connection and write a simple script in Google Apps Script to execute your Snowflake query and populate the sheet. While it requires some initial setup, it’s a robust solution that gives you full control over the data transfer process. Additionally, this method is cost-effective as it doesn’t rely on third-party tools or additional infrastructure.
