Most modern BI tools provide native support for Snowflake connections. When native support is not available, the Snowflake ODBC or JDBC connector can be used instead. For a full list of compatible tools and connection guidance, see Snowflake's BI and data visualization ecosystem documentation.
Once Unqork provisions your Datashare connection, use the credentials provided by Unqork Support to connect your BI tool of choice to Snowflake.
Connection Credentials
When Unqork provisions your Datashare connection, Support provides the following details:
Credential | Description |
|---|---|
Account identifier | Your Snowflake account URL (for example, |
Username | Your Snowflake login username. |
Password | Your Snowflake login password. |
Database | The Snowflake database containing your Unqork data. |
Schema | The schema within the database where your tables are located. |
Warehouse | The Snowflake compute warehouse used to run queries. |
Keep these credentials secure. To reset credentials, submit a Support ticket.
Authentication Requirements
When connecting a BI tool to Datashare, customers must use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) or a secure alternative like key-pair authentication. Password-only authentication is not sufficient for BI tool connections.
Snowflake supports key-pair authentication as a secure alternative to password-based login. See Snowflake key-pair authentication documentation for setup details.
