Snowflake Data Cloud target properties

You can use a Snowflake object as a target in a data loader task.
When you create a data loader task to load data to Snowflake, specify the Snowflake Data Cloud target properties.
The following table describes the Snowflake Data Cloud target properties:
Property
Description
Connection
Name of the target connection.
Select a target connection or create a new connection.
Target Name Prefix
Optional prefix for the target table names.
If you enter a prefix, the target table names will be written as <prefix><source object>.
For example, if you enter pfx1_ as the prefix, then data from source object src1 will be written to target table pfx1_src1.
Table Type
The type of table to write to.
Enter the TableType as table.
Path
The path to the Snowflake database name and schema where you want to create the target table.
