Developing Applications with Snowflake¶
These topics provide information about using Snowflake APIs to connect to and extend Snowflake.
Introduction to Developing Applications in Snowflake — Introduction to developing applications in Snowflake.
Overview of Connectors, Drivers, and Client APIs — Information about the connectors, drivers, and client APIs that you use to develop client applications that connect to Snowflake.
UDFs (User-Defined Functions) — Information about user-defined functions (UDFs), which you can use to extend the system to perform operations that are not available through the built-in, system-defined functions provided by Snowflake.
Snowpark — Information about Snowpark, which you can use to build applications that process data in Snowflake. The Snowpark API provides programming language constructs for building SQL statements and creating UDFs.
External Functions — Information about external functions, which you can use to access custom code that runs outside of Snowflake (e.g. API services that provide geocoding and machine learning models).
Stored Procedures — Information about stored procedures, which you can use to extend Snowflake SQL to include programming constructs such as branching and looping.
Snowflake Scripting — Information about the Snowflake Scripting language, which you can use to write procedural code in SQL.
