JDBC Driver¶

Note

This driver currently does not support GCP regional endpoints. Please ensure that any workloads using through this driver do not require support for regional endpoints on GCP. If you have questions about this, please contact Snowflake Support.

Snowflake provides a JDBC type 4 driver that supports core JDBC functionality. The JDBC driver must be installed in a 64-bit environment and requires Java LTS (Long-Term Support) versions 1.8 or higher.

The driver can be used with most client tools/applications that support JDBC for connecting to a database server. sfsql, the now-deprecated command line client provided by Snowflake, is an example of a JDBC-based application.
