SnowPro Core Exam - Question 34


True or False: A third-party tool that supports standard JDBC or ODBC but has no Snowflake-specific driver will be unable to connect to Snowflake.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AB

The statement is False. A third-party tool that supports standard JDBC or ODBC can connect to Snowflake even without a Snowflake-specific driver. Snowflake provides JDBC and ODBC connectors that adhere to these standard interfaces, allowing third-party tools to establish a connection using these protocols. This ensures compatibility and makes integration with Snowflake feasible for various tools and applications supporting JDBC or ODBC.

Answer is B False: E.g. JDBC: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/jdbc.html Snowflake provides a JDBC type 4 driver that supports core JDBC functionality. The JDBC driver must be installed in a 64-bit environment and requires Java 1.8 (or higher). The driver can be used with most client tools/applications that support JDBC for connecting to a database server.

False. A third-party tool that supports standard JDBC or ODBC can connect to Snowflake even without a Snowflake-specific driver. Snowflake provides JDBC and ODBC connectors that adhere to the standard JDBC and ODBC interfaces, allowing third-party tools to establish a connection to Snowflake using these standard protocols. The Snowflake JDBC and ODBC connectors act as bridges between the third-party tools and the Snowflake service, enabling communication and data exchange. As long as the third-party tool supports JDBC or ODBC, it can utilize the Snowflake connectors to connect to Snowflake and interact with the data warehouse. This approach ensures compatibility and interoperability with a wide range of tools and applications that support JDBC or ODBC, making it easier to integrate Snowflake into existing ecosystems or use preferred third-party tools for data analysis, reporting, or other purposes.

I vote False. As long as you support JDBC or ODBC, you should be able to connect to Snowflake https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/drivers

Entire purpose of JDBC or ODBC connector is to make it generic. B is correct.

This is how I understand the question, if the tool does not come with a snowflake drive, can it be connected to Snowflake? I think the answer is YES, Because Snowflake provides the driver, as long as the tool supports JBDC, the snowflake provided driver can connect the tool to Snowflake. To me, it does not make sense if the question is asking: this tool does support JDBC but does not support Snowflake driver, can it still connected to Snowflake?

Straight Forward question is, third party tools support JDBC/ODBC that has snowflake driver which can connect to snowflake. - It has same meant; third party tool supports JDBC/ODBC that has no snowflake driver that will be unable to connect to snowflake. Therefore, answer is True. Answer is A.True

False. Snowflake provides JDBC and ODBC drivers that allow third-party tools supporting these standards to connect to Snowflake. While having Snowflake-specific drivers might offer optimized performance and additional features, standard JDBC or ODBC drivers can still establish a connection to Snowflake.
