Parameterizing Snowflake query in Snaplogic

[azvineth]

I am trying to execute a Snowflake query to fetch some columns data in a table using Snowflake Execute snap.
Select “id”, “user_name”, “user_location”, “user_email” from t_user where “user_location” = ‘Chennai’ order by “id”;
Now in the above query I need to parameterize the filter used and so I introduced a pipeline paramter “u_loc” in the pipeline properties and changed the query as below. But it shows query parsing failed error on validation.
“Select “id”, “user_name”, “user_location”, “user_email” from t_user where “user_location” = '”+_u_loc+“’ order by “id”;”

Hi @azvineth,

Try the following:

"Select 'id', 'user_name', 'user_location', 'user_email' from t_user where 'user_location' = '"+_u_loc+"' order by 'id';"

If you place a mapper in front of the Snowflake Execute snap, you’ll be able to validate the query and see how it looks before sending it to Snowflake. Just for debugging purposes.

azvineth:

“Select “id”, “user_name”, “user_location”, “user_email” from t_user where “user_location” = '”+_u_loc+“’ order by “id”;”

@azvineth Can also try the below option -

"Select id, user_name, user_location, user_email from t_user where user_location = ‘%s’ order by id ".sprintf(_u_loc)

@Supratim Nope. Throws the below error.
Failed to execute query: Select id, user_name, user_location, user_email from t_user where user_location = ‘Chennai’ order by id
Reason:
SQL compilation error: error line 1 at position 7 invalid identifier ‘ID’

@bojanvelevski That did not work. Got the below error.

Failed to execute query: Select ‘id’, ‘user_name’, ‘user_location’, ‘user_email’ from t_user where ‘user_location’ = ‘Chennai’ order by ‘id’
SQL compilation error:
syntax error line 1 at position 8 unexpected ‘‘id’’
