Snowflake Database Terraform Module

Snowflake Terraform

License Release

We help companies turn their data into assets


Terraform module for Snowflake database management.

  • Creates Snowflake database
  • Can create custom Snowflake database roles with role-to-role assignments
  • Can create a set of default database roles to simplify access management:
    • READONLY - granted USAGE and MONITOR privileges on the database
    • TRANSFORMER - allows creating schemas and some Snowflake objects in them
    • ADMIN - full access, including database options like data_retention_time_in_days
  • Can create number of schemas in the database with their specific stages and access roles
  • Can create database ownership to specified account role

USAGE

module "snowflake_database" {
  source = "getindata/database/snowflake"
  # version  = "x.x.x"
  name = "MY_DB"

  is_transient                = false
  data_retention_time_in_days = 1

  create_default_roles = true
}

EXAMPLES

  • Simple - Basic usage of the module
  • Complete - Advanced usage of the module

BREAKING CHANGES IN v2.x.x

Due to breaking changes in Snowflake provider and additional code optimizations, breaking changes were introduced in v2.0.0 version of this module.

List of code and variable (API) changes:

  • Switched to snowflake_database_role module to leverage new database_roles mechanism
  • database default_roles and custom_roles are now managed by getindata/database_role/snowflake module
  • snowflake_database resource was updated to use newly introduced changes in Snowflake provider
  • snowflake_schema resource was updated to use newly introduced changes in Snowflake provider
  • variable add_grants_to_existing_objects was removed as it is no longer needed
  • minimum Snowflake provider version is 0.90.0

For more information, refer to variables.tf, list of inputs below and Snowflake provider documentation

When upgrading from v1.x, expect most of the resources to be recreated - if recreation is impossible, then it is possible to import some existing resources.

Breaking changes in v3.x of the module

Due to replacement of nulllabel (context.tf) with context provider, some breaking changes were introduced in v3.0.0 version of this module.

List od code and variable (API) changes:

  • Removed context.tf file (a single-file module with additional variables), which implied a removal of all its variables (except name):
    • descriptor_formats
    • label_value_case
    • label_key_case
    • id_length_limit
    • regex_replace_chars
    • label_order
    • additional_tag_map
    • tags
    • labels_as_tags
    • attributes
    • delimiter
    • stage
    • environment
    • tenant
    • namespace
    • enabled
    • context
  • Remove support enabled flag - that might cause some backward compatibility issues with terraform state (please take into account that proper move clauses were added to minimize the impact), but proceed with caution
  • Additional context provider configuration
  • New variables were added, to allow naming configuration via context provider:
    • context_templates
    • name_schema
    • drop_public_schema_on_creation which is true by default

Inputs

Name Description Type Default Required
catalog The database parameter that specifies the default catalog to use for Iceberg tables string null no
comment Specifies a comment for the database string null no
context_templates Map of context templates used for naming conventions - this variable supersedes naming_scheme.properties and naming_scheme.delimiter configuration map(string) {} no
create_default_roles Whether the default roles should be created bool false no
data_retention_time_in_days Number of days for which Snowflake retains historical data for performing Time Travel actions (SELECT, CLONE, UNDROP) on the object. A value of 0 effectively disables Time Travel for the specified database, schema, or table number null no
database_ownership_grant The name of the account role to which database privileges will be granted string null no
default_ddl_collation Specifies a default collation specification for all schemas and tables added to the database. string null no
drop_public_schema_on_creation Whether the PUBLIC schema should be dropped after the database creation bool true no
enable_console_output If true, enables stdout/stderr fast path logging for anonymous stored procedures bool null no
external_volume The database parameter that specifies the default external volume to use for Iceberg tables string null no
is_transient Specifies a database as transient. Transient databases do not have a Fail-safe period so they do not incur additional storage costs once they leave Time Travel; however, this means they are also not protected by Fail-safe in the event of a data loss bool null no
log_level Specifies the severity level of messages that should be ingested and made available in the active event table. Valid options are: [TRACE DEBUG INFO WARN ERROR FATAL OFF] string null no
max_data_extension_time_in_days Object parameter that specifies the maximum number of days for which Snowflake can extend the data retention period for tables in the database to prevent streams on the tables from becoming stale number null no
name Name of the resource string n/a yes
name_scheme Naming scheme configuration for the resource. This configuration is used to generate names using context provider:
- properties - list of properties to use when creating the name - is superseded by var.context_templates
- delimiter - delimited used to create the name from properties - is superseded by var.context_templates
- context_template_name - name of the context template used to create the name
- replace_chars_regex - regex to use for replacing characters in property-values created by the provider - any characters that match the regex will be removed from the name
- extra_values - map of extra label-value pairs, used to create a name
