Linux

Install the driver from the snowflake website

Go to your odbc configuration file. Typically located at /etc/odbc.ini

Add a section for your configuration like the example below.

[your_dsn_name]
SERVER=<YOUR_SERVER>
Driver=/<path>/libSnowflake.so
Database=<YOUR_DATABASE_NAME>
Schema=PUBLIC
Warehouse=<YOUR_WAREHOUSE>

• <YOUR_SERVER> is the url of your snowflake instance (for example appsfortableau.west-europe.azure.snowflakecomputing.com)

• <path is the location where the snowflake library is located

• <YOUR_DATABASE_NAME> is your database name

• <YOUR_WAREHOUSE> is your warehouse

The DSN name you specify between the [] at the top is the unique name you'll need in WriteBackExtreme to configure the connection.

Important

Make sure to set NoExecuteInSQLPrepare=true in ODBC configuration. (link)

This should be set in your simba.snowflake.ini file.
