Exporting data from Snowflake to CSV is a common task for data professionals who need to work with Snowflake data in spreadsheets or other tools.  What  if you needed to do an export:

  • on a set schedule
  • saved in a remote location
  • with custom filename

What is SnowExporter?

 As you know Snowflake provides a robust solution for storing, managing, and analyzing large datasets in the cloud.  But what if you needed to have the analyzed data exported out of Snowflake? 

SnowExporter is a custom Snowflake app, that allows end-users to securely export data from Snowflake to external destinations by using the apps intuitive graphics interface.  But it isn’t just a regular app.  It is an Native app.  Why should this matter to you and your company?

Why NativeApp?

Snowflake Native apps allow users to take advantage of innovative, powerful apps WITHOUT having to worry about whether their sensitive data is being adequately protected on their provider’s platform.    This is because Snowflake Native Apps are applications that run WITHIN the customer’s own Snowflake account, so there is no need to move or share their data with the app provider, which can help improve data security and governance.   Customers can also retain control over what the app can do in their accounts by granting granular permissions.
