| 20 | +## Authentication Methods |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +This connector **only supports key pair authentication** using RSA private keys. Username/password authentication is not supported. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +### Option A: Private Key from File Path |
| 25 | +```javascript |
| 26 | +const config = { |
| 27 | + DATASOURCES: { |
| 28 | + mySnowflakeDB: { |
| 29 | + DB_HOST: "your-account.snowflakecomputing.com", |
| 30 | + DB_USER: "your-username", |
| 31 | + PRIVATE_KEY_PATH: "/path/to/your/private-key.pem", |
| 32 | + PRIVATE_KEY_PASSPHRASE: "your-passphrase", // optional, only if private key is encrypted |
| 33 | + DB_DATABASE: "your-database", |
| 34 | + SCHEMA: "your-schema", |
| 35 | + WAREHOUSE: "your-warehouse", // optional |
| 36 | + ROLE: "your-role", // optional |
| 37 | + PORT: 443, // optional |
| 38 | + POOL_MAX: 10, // optional, default 10 |
| 39 | + POOL_MIN: 0 // optional, default 0 |
| 40 | + } |
| 41 | + } |
| 42 | +}; |
| 43 | +``` |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +### Option B: Private Key from AWS Secrets Manager |
| 46 | +```javascript |
| 47 | +const config = { |
| 48 | + DATASOURCES: { |
| 49 | + mySnowflakeDB: { |
| 50 | + DB_HOST: "your-account.snowflakecomputing.com", |
| 51 | + DB_USER: "your-username", |
| 52 | + PRIVATE_KEY_SECRET_NAME: "my-snowflake-private-key", |
| 53 | + PRIVATE_KEY_FIELD_NAME: "privateKey", // required - exact field name in the secret |
| 54 | + PRIVATE_KEY_PASSPHRASE: "your-passphrase", // optional, only if private key is encrypted |
| 55 | + DB_DATABASE: "your-database", |
| 56 | + SCHEMA: "your-schema", |
| 57 | + WAREHOUSE: "your-warehouse", // optional |
| 58 | + ROLE: "your-role", // optional |
| 59 | + PORT: 443, // optional |
| 60 | + POOL_MAX: 20, // optional, default 10 |
| 61 | + POOL_MIN: 2 // optional, default 0 |
| 62 | + } |
| 63 | + } |
| 64 | +}; |
| 65 | +``` |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +## Setting up Key Pair Authentication in Snowflake |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +1. **Generate RSA Key Pair:** |
| 70 | + ```bash |
| 71 | + # Generate private key (2048-bit minimum) |
| 72 | + openssl genrsa -out rsa_key.pem 2048 |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | + # Generate public key |
| 75 | + openssl rsa -in rsa_key.pem -pubout -out rsa_key.pub |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | + # Extract public key content (remove header/footer lines) |
| 78 | + openssl rsa -in rsa_key.pem -pubout -outform DER | base64 | tr -d '\n' |
| 79 | + ``` |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +2. **Configure Snowflake User:** |
| 82 | + ```sql |
| 83 | + -- Set the public key for your user (use the base64 content from step 1) |
| 84 | + ALTER USER your_username SET RSA_PUBLIC_KEY='MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA...'; |
| 85 | + ``` |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +3. **For AWS Secrets Manager setup:** |
| 88 | + ```json |
| 89 | + { |
| 90 | + "privateKey": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvgIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCBKgwggSkAgEAAoIBAQC...\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----" |
| 91 | + } |
| 92 | + ``` |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +## Basic Usage |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +```javascript |
| 97 | +const snowflakeConnector = require('@softrams/nodejs-snowflake-connector'); |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +async function main() { |
| 100 | + try { |
| 101 | + // Initialize with configuration |
| 102 | + await snowflakeConnector.init(config); |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | + // Execute simple query |
| 105 | + const results = await snowflakeConnector.execute( |
| 106 | + 'mySnowflakeDB', |
| 107 | + 'SELECT CURRENT_VERSION() as version, CURRENT_USER() as user' |
| 108 | + ); |
| 109 | + console.log('Connection info:', results); |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | + // Execute parameterized query |
| 112 | + const userData = await snowflakeConnector.execute( |
| 113 | + 'mySnowflakeDB', |
| 114 | + 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ? AND status = ?', |
| 115 | + [123, 'active'] |
| 116 | + ); |
| 117 | + console.log('User data:', userData); |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | + } catch (error) { |
| 120 | + console.error('Database operation failed:', error); |
| 121 | + } finally { |
| 122 | + // Clean up connections |
| 123 | + await snowflakeConnector.closeAllPools(); |
| 124 | + } |
| 125 | +} |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +main(); |
