sequel-snowflake

An adapter to connect to Snowflake databases using Sequel. This provides proper types for returned values, as opposed to the ODBC adapter.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sequel-snowflake'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sequel-snowflake

You'll also need unixODBC (if on Linux/macOS) and the appropriate Snowflake ODBC driver in order to use this adapter. Follow the Snowflake documentation on their ODBC Driver here before proceeding.

When establishing the connection, specify :snowflake as the adapter to use.

DB = Sequel.connect(adapter: :snowflake,
                    drvconnect: conn_str)

In order to run specs, you'll need a Snowflake account. A connection string should be provided as an environment variable SNOWFLAKE_CONN_STR. For example, on macOS, our connection string would resemble:

DRIVER=/opt/snowflake/snowflakeodbc/lib/universal/libSnowflake.dylib;
SERVER=<account>.<region>.snowflakecomputing.com;
DATABASE=<database>;
WAREHOUSE=<warehouse>;
SCHEMA=<schema>;
UID=<user>;
PWD=<password>;
CLIENT_SESSION_KEEP_ALIVE=true;

The test will create a temporary table on the specified database to run tests on, and this will be taken down either via the after(:each) blocks or when the connection is closed.

We have two workflows included in this project:

• Ruby (ruby.yml): This runs the specs for this gem against Ruby 3.0 and 3.1. Note that this requires the secret SNOWFLAKE_CONN_STR to be set (see above for example connection string), as we need to connect to Snowflake to run tests. These specs will be run for every pull request, and is run after every commit to those branches.

• Ruby Gem (gem-push.yml): This builds and pushes this gem to RubyGems, acting only on successful pushes to the main branch. Note that this workflow requires a RUBYGEMS_AUTH_TOKEN secret to be set to authenticate with RubyGems.
