Snowflake Data Science Training Summary

Snowflake Data Science

I have enrolled in a private Snowflake Data Science Training. Let me list what I learned from it.

• SQL worksheets
• Snowpark in notebook

mkdocs build
mkdocs serve
mkdocs gh-deploy --force

SQL Worksheets

ML functions:

• forecast
• anomaly_detection
• classification
• top_insights

Add object name into session

show parameters like 'SEARCH_PATH';

set cur_search_path = (select "value" from table(result_scan(-1)));
set new_search_path = (select $cur_search_path || ', snowflake.ml'); -- append `snowflake.ml` into search_path

alter session set search_path = $new_search_path;

-- now below two statements are interchangeable
show snowflake.ml.forecast;
show forecast;
