Writing time series data to Snowflake
Snowflake has become a very popular cloud database option for building big data analytics, due to its scalability, performance, and being SQL-oriented (a columnar-stored relational database).Snowflake's connector for Python simplifies the interaction with the database, whether it's for reading or writing data, or, more specifically, the built-in support for pandas DataFrames.
Getting ready
Refer to the Reading data from a Snowflake recipe in Chapter 3, Reading Time Series Data from Databases, as a refresher on the different ways to connect to Snowflake.
The recommended approach for the snowflake-connector-python library is to install it using pip, allowing you to install extras such as pandas, as shown:
pip install snowflake-sqlalchemy # SQLAlchemy integration
pip install snowflake-snowpark-python # Snowpark DataFrame API
pip install "snowflake-connector-python[pandas]" #includes pandas support
Note that Python 3.13 is not...
