Snowflake DB is a VERY good hosted SQL analytic database. They already have a JDBC driver and an ODBC driver, so it would be relatively easy to add them as a supported SQL data source. That would really help me since I have lots of data in Snowflake that I'd like to share with the internal team AND with our customers.

  Please! Snowflake is a hosted DB, which means public IP addresses, and they have a JDBC driver. Would be easy, and it's a VERY VERY GOOD database. Basically it's a hosted analytic database like AWS Redshift, but with some distinct advantages.

  Hi Jeff, thank you very much for the request and info on Snowflake. I am going to investigate what will be involved in adding support for their JDBC driver. I will get back to you when I have more information.

  By the way: Tableau now supports a native Snowflake connection, as does Looker.
