Data type conversion
Users can explicitly convert a value from one data type to another. This is called explicit casting. In some situations, Snowflake converts a value to another data type automatically. This is called implicit casting or coercion.
SQL data types reference
We call this explicit casting. In other cases, data types are converted automatically, such as when adding a float and an integer. We call this implicit casting (or coercion). In Snowflake, data types are automatically coerced whenever…
Structured data types
You can cast a semi - structured ARRAY, OBJECT, or VARIANT value to a corresponding structured type (for example, an ARRAY value to an ARRAY value of INTEGER elements). You can also cast a structured type of a semi - structured…
Transforming data during a load
Snowflake supports transforming data while loading it into a table using the COPY INTO <table> command, dramatically simplifying your ETL pipeline for basic transformations. This feature helps you avoid the use of temporary tables to store…
CAST , ::
Converts a value of one data type into another data type. The semantics of CAST are the same as the semantics of the corresponding TO_ datatype conversion functions. If the cast is not possible, an error is raised.

SQL statement execution error - Failed to cast variant value to TIMESTAMP_TZ
Snowflake will attempt to implicitly cast the VARIANT type to the correct timestamp data type. However, depending on the format defined in the parameter TIMESTAMP_INPUT_FORMAT, the format is not recognized as a valid timestamp and will…
Working with variables
…expressionAssigns the value of expression to the variable. If both type and expression are specified, the expression must evaluate to a data type that matches. If the types do not match, you can cast the value to the specified type.
Vector data types
Snowflake supports a single vector data type, VECTOR. Note The VECTOR data type is only supported in SQL, the Python connector and the Snowpark Python library. No other languages are supported. VECTOR With the VECTOR data type, Snowflake…
SnowConvert: Oracle Issues
This issue happens when try to cast input value that is out of the range. It’s means the precision values is not applicable in Snowflake, then the code is commented out and this message is being added.
