Create, Insert and Update a Snowflake Table

Create a Snowflake table, insert a row, and update that row.

Setup

Provide the Snowflake account URL and configure a programmatic access token in both Open Flow HTTP nodes. The user needs a default database, schema, warehouse and role with rights to create and modify a table. In n8n connect Snowflake credentials. Use a database where a new table named docs can be created.

Behavior

The workflow creates docs, inserts ID 1 with name n8n, and updates that ID to nodemation. Open Flow submits three SQL statements as one SQL API request and checks the asynchronous result. n8n runs the three original Snowflake nodes. Existing tables and errors stop the workflow. If any statement fails, earlier statements may already have completed. A lost response or polling timeout can also leave changes; inspect Snowflake before running again. Open Flow checks a pending statement every five seconds for up to five minutes.

Inspiration & credits

Changes to the source

Open Flow uses the Snowflake SQL API and a programmatic access token; n8n uses its Snowflake connection. The n8n create node continues when the database returns no rows, and its table and column identifiers use Snowflake’s unquoted uppercase names.
