Snowflake Data Clean Rooms: Installation details

This topic provides information about the objects created in your account when you install a clean room environment.

Snowflake Native App

Snowflake Data Clean Rooms installs the following Snowflake Native App.

SAMOOHA_BY_SNOWFLAKE

This Snowflake Native App powers Snowflake Data Clean Rooms. It contains all of the core functionality and application logic used to create and manage clean rooms.

This app has the following schemas:

ADMIN

This schema contains any tables or views needed for the administration of the application. You can use it to track application versions, patches, and deployments. Key details include:

  • Version information (number)

  • Patches applied (version, commands)

APP SCHEMA

This schema contains functions and procedures which are necessary to facilitate all the clean room flows. Key details include:

  • Encrypt and decrypt functions.

  • Clean room procedures that you use with the developer APIs and web app to create, install, and work with clean rooms.

TEMPLATES

This schema contains the standard SQL Jinja templates which can be used to run analyses in using the developer APIs or web app.

These pre-built templates offer ready-to-use SQL queries for secure data collaboration within Snowflake Data Clean Rooms. They leverage Jinja templating for customization, allowing you to tailor queries to specific data sharing scenarios.

Application packages

Snowflake Data Clean Rooms installs the following application packages.

SAMOOHA_CLEANROOM_*

This application package is installed in provider accounts only. It contains all the core application logic of a clean room created by the provider. It also contains the secure views used to share data with the clean room and several tables that store the clean room state. These include tables recording the current differential privacy budget of consumers, the column and join policy, and names of tables linked to the clean room.

Databases

Snowflake Data Clean Rooms installs the following databases.

SAMOOHA_BY_SNOWFLAKE_LOCAL_DB

This database is created by the web app during the Snowflake installation process. It is local to your account. It is not an application, but does contain application logic.

It has two components:

  1. The developer APIs that you and the web app use to create and manage clean rooms.

  2. Intermediate datasets owned entirely by you that get saved to the PUBLIC schema during flows such as identity resolution. For example, the output tables from LiveRamp’s resolution and transcoding process are saved to the PUBLIC schema and joined onto the view that gets linked to the clean room by the web app.

The database has the following schemas:

ADMIN

This schema contains information necessary to operate certain clean room features associated with the account, such as:

  • Using Cross-Cloud Auto-Fulfillment to collaborate across regions or cloud platforms.

  • Clean room metadata updates needed to register clean rooms from developer APIs to the web app.

  • Versioning of the current procedures associated with the functioning of the web app with the Snowflake account.

  • Tasks and Streams that listen to changes in the set of clean room shares that are shared back from collaborators, and to enable/disable clean rooms as needed based on the changes.

CONSUMER/CONSUMER_INIT

This schema contains procedures necessary to operate clean room install or consumer features associated with the account, such as:

  • Shared clean room listing details needed for requesting Cross-Cloud Auto-Fulfillment clean rooms.

  • Features related to using join/column policies and registering a database in a clean room.

  • Support for installing and editing a clean room, running analyses, and viewing templates that have been added.

ID_HUB

This schema contains procedures and intermediate tables associated with the identity hub.

INFORMATION_SCHEMA

Like all Snowflake databases, this database contains the INFORMATION_SCHEMA schema (“Data dictionary”), which consists of a set of system-defined views and table functions that provide extensive metadata information about the objects created in your account.

LIBRARY

This schema contains procedures necessary to enable clean room connectors and features which are applicable for both provider and consumers, such as:

  • Setting up Ads connector procedures facilitating integration with ID hubs and external tables.

  • Registering database procedures to control Cross-Cloud Auto-Fulfillment enablement or disablement.

  • Applying patches, unregistering databases, and updating clean room records.

PROVIDER

This schema contains data or information related to activations (streams and procedures to facilitate provider activations), saved analysis reports, meta information related to connectors configured on the Snowflake Data Clean Rooms accounts, and clean room records created by the account.

PUBLIC

This schema contains the developer APIs that you and the web app use to create and manage clean rooms. It also contains intermediate datasets owned entirely by you that get saved to the PUBLIC schema during flows such as identity resolution. For example, the output tables from LiveRamp’s resolution and transcoding process are saved to the PUBLIC schema and joined onto the view that gets linked to the clean room by the web app.

This schema has the following tables:

  • CLEANROOM_RECORD: This table includes the status of a clean room (created, deleted) along with the user and timestamp of the last update. If the update was done in the web app, the user is the service account user. If the update was done in Snowsight using the developer APIs, the user is the actual user who called the API. The clean room database name can be customized in this table.

  • CONNECTOR_CONFIGURATION: This table is the list of configured connectors in the account.

  • REPORTS: This table includes the list of reports saved by the consumer in the web app. Top-level results from standard reports are saved in the table.

  • HORIZONTAL_ANALYSIS_<report ID>: Output of analyses executed with the SQL Query template and custom templateS executed in the web app.

The database has three shares that get created from it:

  • SAMOOHA_INTERNAL_GOVERNANCE_SUMMARY SHARE_NAV2: This share contains views on the GOVERNACE_SUMMARY and ACTIVATION tables in the PUBLIC schema. This gets shared with any providers who have created clean rooms installed by this account, and is used to share governance information and provider activations back.

  • SAMOOHA_INTERNAL_LOGS_SHARE_NAV2: This share is on the LOG_EVENTS table and is primarily used to share logs on how ID resolution procedures are progressing back to Snowflake, given they use third-party native apps. No PII or data is ever shared back, only the success/failure of the third-party app APIs used for transcoding/resolution.

  • SAMOOHA_INTERNAL_PROVIDER_METADATA_NAV2: This share is on two tables, ADMIN.METADATA_UPDATE_REQUESTS, which is used for developer APIs to web app registration requests, and ADMIN.RESOURCE_MONITOR_USAGE, which is only used by managed accounts to log usage.

SAMOOHA_CLEANROOM_REQUESTS_*

This is a database on the provider side and a share on the consumer side. It corresponds to the share that gets sent back from a consumer to the provider of a clean room as part of the consumer clean room installation process. This database contains information on all the requests raised by the consumer against the clean room and is used to keep track of the differential privacy budget usage by the consumer.

SAMOOHA_CLEANROOM_CONSUMER_*

This database is installed in consumer accounts only. It is used to share objects such as the secure view of the consumer data to the clean room, and consumer column/join policies if applied. It has the following table:

  • SAMOOHA_CLEANROOM_CONSUMER_<cleanroom>.SHARED.REQUESTS. This table shows the consumer exactly which query was attempting to run (PROPOSED_QUERY as the output query of the consumer SQL template).

SAMOOHA_SAMPLE_DATABASE

This database contains sample dataset that you can use in the clean room to run analysis and get yourself familiar with the application.

Tasks

Snowflake Data Clean Rooms installs the following task.

EXPECTED_VERSION_TASK

This task automatically upgrades the Snowflake Native App for Snowflake Data Clean Rooms as new versions are released. It exists in the SAMOOHA_BY_SNOWFLAKE_LOCAL_DB.ADMIN schema.

To enable the task so it automatically updates your clean room environment, use the developer API to execute the enable_local_db_auto_upgrades command. For example, use Snowsight to execute:

CALL samooha_by_snowflake_local_db.library.enable_local_db_auto_upgrades();
