snowflake.core.Root¶

class snowflake.core.Root(connection: SnowflakeConnection | Session)¶

Bases: object

The entry point of the Snowflake Core Python APIs that manage the Snowflake objects.

Parameters:

connection – A SnowflakeConnection or Snowpark Session instance.

Example

Create a Root instance:

>>> from snowflake.connector import connect
>>> from snowflake.core import Root
>>> from snowflake.snowpark import Session
>>> CONNECTION_PARAMETERS = {
...    "account": os.environ["snowflake_account_demo"],
...    "user": os.environ["snowflake_user_demo"],
...    "password": os.environ["snowflake_password_demo"],
...    "database": test_database,
...    "warehouse": test_warehouse,
...    "schema": test_schema,
... }
>>> # create from a Snowflake Connection
>>> connection = connect(**CONNECTION_PARAMETERS)
>>> root = Root(connection)
>>> # or create from a Snowpark Session
>>> session = Session.builder.config(CONNECTION_PARAMETERS).create()
>>> root = Root(session)

Copy

Use the root instance to access resource management APIs:

>>> tasks = root.databases["mydb"].schemas["myschema"].tasks
>>> mytask = tasks["mytask"]
>>> mytask.resume()
>>> compute_pools = root.compute_pools
>>> my_computepool = compute_pools["mycomputepool"]
>>> my_computepool.delete()

Copy

Attributes

compute_pools¶

connection¶

Return the connection in use.

This is the connection used to create this Root instance, or the Snowpark session’s connection if this root is created from a session.

databases¶

session¶

Returns the session that is used to create this Root instance.

Returns None if the root wasn’t created from a session but a SnowflakeConnection.
