About this course
A practical start in Snowflake, recorded live. It opens with the idea every warehouse is built on — the difference between OLTP and OLAP systems — then moves straight into Snowflake itself.
Over five classes you see where Snowflake sits in a real data engineering project, create an account, database, schema and tables, load data from your own machine with the SnowSQL CLI, and work with Snowflake's internal stages: user, table and named. The last class transforms data on its way out of a stage, so you load exactly the columns you need in the shape you need them.
By the end you will have loaded real data into Snowflake yourself, and understand each step well enough to repeat it on your own project.
