How to connect to a Blob container using Snowflake

To connect to a Blob container in Snowflake, you will need to create a stage that points to the container. A stage represents a location where data files are stored, either within Snowflake or externally.

To create a stage that points to a Blob container in Snowflake, you can use the CREATE STAGE statement. Here is an example of how to create a stage for a Blob container in Azure Storage:

CREATE STAGE my_stage 
TYPE = AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE 
URL = 'https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer'

CREDENTIALS = (AZURE_SAS_TOKEN = 'my_sas_token');

Replace my_stage with the name you want to give to the stage, myaccount with your Azure Storage account name, mycontainer with the name of the Blob container, and my_sas_token with a Shared Access Signature (SAS) token that grants Snowflake access to the container.

Once you have created the stage, you can use a COPY statement to load data from the Blob container into a Snowflake table. Here is an example of how to load data from a CSV file in the Blob container into a Snowflake table:

COPY INTO my_table FROM @my_stage/myfile.csv

FILE_FORMAT = my_file_format;

Replace my_table with the name of the Snowflake table, my_stage with the name of the stage you created, myfile.csv with the path to the file in the container, and my_file_format with the name of a file format object that describes the format of the data in the file.

Hope this will be helpful.
