EXACTLY. You absolutely can store unstructured and semi structured data in Snowflake. I find it baffling and at this point a bit irritating that there is this community of people insisting that is not allowed for...some unspecified reason.
- snidane 6y agoWhy would I store eg. bunch of html files as string columns in Snowflake, only to download them down, process them in python and load back into some other string table. I could do the same in s3 for much cheaper.
- georgewfraser 6y agoBecause it actually costs the same, and if you process them in Snowflake using SQL or UDFs, you will get your results in seconds and you won't have to manage any of the underlying infrastructure.
- snidane 6y agoCan I do some advanced xml stuff say using lxml with beautifulsoup using UDFs?
