tSnowflakeConnection Standard properties

These properties are used to configure tSnowflakeConnection running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard tSnowflakeConnection component belongs to the Cloud family.

The component in this framework is available in all Talend products.

Note: This component is a specific version of a dynamic database connector. The properties related to database settings vary depending on your database type selection. For more information about dynamic database connectors, see Dynamic database components.
