Snowflake Data Share
Snowflake Data Share
The Data Share feature of the Coveo Administration Console provides a convenient way to retrieve your data if you already have a Snowflake account. You can use this feature to extract and integrate your data into your account and leverage it using your business intelligence (BI) tool of choice.
The BestTech organization stores their data in their own Snowflake data lake. Meanwhile, they have a Coveo-powered search page, and they’d like to retrieve the corresponding data and add it to their data lake. As a result, they use the Data Share feature, which accesses their data from Coveo’s UA database and shares it to their Snowflake account.
There are two steps that you must complete in order to set up your data share:
-
Initiate the data share in the Coveo Administration Console and link it to your Snowflake account.
-
Access the Snowflake console and create a database in your Snowflake account in order to complete the share.
