## **Setting up Snowflake in Daton**

### **Step1 -** Whitelisting Daton IPs in Snowflake

Although this step is optional, we highly recommend that you whitelist our IPs to allow Daton to access your Snowflake account securely, you’ll need to create a new network policy or add Daton IP addresses to a network policy that you’ve whitelisted . You can do this using the management console or using SQL.

**\[Old UI]**

* From the Snowflake management console, click **Accounts** and then **Policies**
  * Make sure you have ACCOUNTADMIN or SECURITYADMIN privileges
* Click Create a New Network Policy
* Name the policy and then enter the following IP addresses:&#x20;
  * **35.238.200.205/32**
* Click Finish

**\[New UI]**

* From the Snowflake management console, click **Accounts** and then **Security**
  * Make sure you have ACCOUNTADMIN or SECURITYADMIN privileges
* Click **+ Network Policy**
* Name the policy and then enter the following IP addresses:&#x20;
  * **35.238.200.205/32**
* Click **Create Network policy**

**You can also whitelist Daton IP addresses using SQL**

Use the following SQL:

```
CREATE NETWORK POLICY DATON_WHITELIST 
       ALLOWED_IP_LIST= ('35.238.200.205/32') 
       BLOCKED_IP_LIST= () 
       COMMENT        = ‘DATON_IP_ADDRESSES'
       ;
```

### **Step 1.1 Create a new database (Optional)**

Create a new database to load the data into Snowflake

![Create a new database](https://15515196-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LbJ1eMq5M51cIpU163R%2Fuploads%2FBKgLzCIKkSlzCwTOWRib%2F2022-07-06%20at%202.37%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=2ab798c0-a7f8-4abc-a9c3-730c24c5508c)

![Give the database a meaningful name](https://15515196-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LbJ1eMq5M51cIpU163R%2Fuploads%2FZ03lrjZmZ2UXEp3l15WW%2F2022-07-06%20at%202.38%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=234be396-c498-472d-a1df-3c71e3c11a72)

### **Step 1.2 Create a new Schema in the Database (Optional)**

### **Step 1.3 - Issues grants to enable Daton to connect to Snowflake**

Please issue the following grants to the chosen Role:

```
GRANT USAGE ON WAREHOUSE <warehouse_name> TO <RoleName>;
GRANT CREATE SCHEMA, MONITOR, USAGE ON DATABASE <DBName> TO <RoleName>;
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA <DBName>.<SchemaName> TO <RoleName>;
GRANT CREATE TABLE ON SCHEMA <DBName>.<SchemaName> to <RoleName>;
GRANT CREATE STAGE ON SCHEMA <DBName>.<SchemaName> to <RoleName>;
GRANT CREATE FILE FORMAT ON SCHEMA <DBName>.<SchemaName> to <RoleName>;
```

For this instance;

```
GRANT USAGE ON WAREHOUSE <Snowflake> TO <AccountAdmin>;
GRANT CREATE SCHEMA, MONITOR, USAGE ON DATABASE <StagingArea> TO <AccountAdmin>;
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA <StagingArea>.<Raw> TO <AccountAdmin>;
GRANT CREATE TABLE ON SCHEMA <StagingArea>.<Raw> to <AccountAdmin>;
GRANT CREATE STAGE ON SCHEMA <StagingArea>.<Raw> to <AccountAdmin>;
GRANT CREATE FILE FORMAT ON SCHEMA <StagingArea>.<Raw> to <AccountAdmin>;
```

### **Step 2 - Enter the integration name**&#x20;

Daton will use the integration name to create tables in the data warehouse.&#x20;

### **Step 3 - Enter connection details**

Daton scans the warehouse permissions for the users and return a list of data warehouses the user has access to.

### **Step 4 - Select the warehouse**

Daton scans the warehouse permissions for the users and return a list of data warehouses the user has access to.

COMPUTE\_WH is the default warehouse created by Snowflake. Select the data warehouse of your choice.

### **Step 5 - Select the database**

In this step, Daton lists databases in the selected warehouse to which the user has access.&#x20;

![Select a database](https://15515196-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LbJ1eMq5M51cIpU163R%2F-M4HZ_C7OU2ZzXgL2tQ9%2F-M4HccncppkIp4qSpZam%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=eaa0bce1-4027-44b2-8d10-d4ad3487336b)

### **Step 6 - Select the schema**

In this step, Daton lists schemas in the selected databases to which the user has access. Please not that Daton does not creata schema in Snowflake. We recomment to use a dedicated schema for Daton to replicate data.&#x20;

![Select a Schema](https://15515196-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LbJ1eMq5M51cIpU163R%2F-M4HZ_C7OU2ZzXgL2tQ9%2F-M4Hd5gPYbgjSLWN-Hjh%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=3d4a291e-b147-46c6-a470-9eb10b51005f)

That is all you need to do to setup a Snowflake data warehouse on Daton. Continue to configure your sources, sit back, and let Daton take care of the data replication for you.
