09/22/2023, 5:39 PMHi Team, if we are using Airbyte to sync data from Snowflake to Kafka, do we need to provide larger snowflake warehouse for extracting large volume of data from snowflake? Or the snowflake warehouse size does not matter for syncing data(large or small volume) from snowflake via Airbyte

09/22/2023, 5:40 PMThe size of the Snowflake warehouse does not directly affect the data syncing process with Airbyte. Airbyte's Snowflake source connector is built on top of the source-jdbc code base and is configured to rely on JDBC 3.13.22 [Snowflake driver](https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowflake-jdbc). It supports both Full Refresh and Incremental syncs, allowing you to choose if this connector will copy only the new or updated data, or all rows in the tables and columns you set up for replication, every time a sync is run.
However, the size of the Snowflake warehouse might indirectly affect the performance of your data extraction. Larger warehouses in Snowflake have more resources and can process queries faster, which might speed up the extraction process when dealing with large volumes of data.
When setting up the Snowflake source, you will need to create Airbyte-specific Snowflake entities (a warehouse, database, schema, user, and role) with the
OWNERSHIP Copy code

-- set variables (these need to be uppercase)
set airbyte_role = 'AIRBYTE_ROLE';
set airbyte_username = 'AIRBYTE_USER';
set airbyte_warehouse = 'AIRBYTE_WAREHOUSE';
set airbyte_database = 'AIRBYTE_DATABASE';
set airbyte_schema = 'AIRBYTE_SCHEMA';
