Snowflake ETL Example With Pipe, Stream & Task Objects

Snowflake ETL Example With Pipe, Stream & Task Objects

Snowflake ETL Using Pipe, Stream & Task

Building a complete ETL (or ETL) Workflow,or we can say data pipeline, for Snowflake Data Warehouse using snowpipe, stream and task objects. There are many ETL or ELT tools available and many of the article talks on theoritical ground, but this blog and episode-19 will cover everything needed by a snowflake developer.

Use Case (domain) for ETL

We are going to use a simple and commonly used domain and we can call it customer sales. In this domain, we have customer data set and item data set. All the purchases and transaction made are recorded into a order data set.

This data set is captured in RDBMS system and it flows to Snowflake Data Warehouse system.

  1. Customer Data - Master Data
  2. Item Data - Master Data
  3. Order Data - Transactional or Fact Data

Create Database & Schemas

The first step is to create database and schemas where all our tables and other objects will reside.

create database ch19;
create or replace schema landing_zone;
create or replace schema curated_zone;
create or replace schema consumption_zone;

Create Order Table (Landing Zone)

Now all our schemas are create, we must change the context to ch19.landing_zone and create customer transient table.

create or replace transient table landing_item (
        item_id varchar,
        item_desc varchar,
        start_date varchar,
        end_date varchar,
        price varchar,
        item_class varchar,
        item_CATEGORY varchar
) comment ='this is item table with in landing schema';

create or replace transient table landing_customer (
    customer_id varchar,
    salutation varchar,
    first_name varchar,
    last_name varchar,
    birth_day varchar,
    birth_month varchar,
    birth_year varchar,
    birth_country varchar,
    email_address varchar
) comment ='this is customer table with in landing schema';

create or replace transient table landing_order (
    order_date varchar,
    order_time varchar,
    item_id varchar,
    item_desc varchar,
    customer_id varchar,
    salutation varchar,
    first_name varchar,
    last_name varchar,
    store_id varchar,
    store_name varchar,
    order_quantity varchar,
    sale_price varchar,
    disount_amt varchar,
    coupon_amt varchar,
    net_paid varchar,
    net_paid_tax varchar,
    net_profit varchar
) comment ='this is order table with in landing schema';
    
create or replace file format my_csv_vi_webui
type = 'csv' 
compression = 'auto' 
field_delimiter = ',' 
record_delimiter = '\n' 
skip_header = 1
field_optionally_enclosed_by = '\042' 
null_if = ('\\N');

In part-01, we have created the 3 schemas & tables in landing schema. Now we will create tables for curated zone and also load data using standard SQL statements.

SQL Scripts - Part 01 to Part 07

  1. Part-01 covers curated Zone SQL Script & Data Loading
  2. Part-02 covers curated Zone SQL Script & Data Loading
  3. Part-03 covers consumption Zone SQL Script & Data Loading
  4. Part-04 covers stage and pipe creation script for landing layer
  5. Part-05 stream and task creation for curated layers
  6. Part-06 stream and task cration for consumption layer
  7. Part-07 Lets validate the merge statements (Insert/Update)
