Create table scripts in Oracle, MySQL and Snowflake

Not much text to put in this one but a comparison between create table scripts in Oracle (my normal), MySQL (did not like) and Snowflake (Was very easy). I think the newer version of MySQL would have been easier to work with but this is what I have to work with on my free instance. The next step of this project is to see how easy it is to build a little package that runs these controls. who knows if I can get it working in MySQL or Snowflake perhaps it can be worked properly into this project with its own dashboards. From the Googling I have done so far I am not optimistic about MySQL but I always have the backup of creating something in Python and seeing if it can work for all 3, you can even get free python web servers (I think) so that might be an option. 

Note that for the Oracle code I have already created a basic version of the package.

Keboola Flows

Really finding Keboola was the thing that kickstarted this project otherwise I would be trying to build custom code on a python cloud server and building everything from scratch.  In Keboola you build you data sources and destinations using connection details which is fairly simple and something I will likely cover in another post, same goes for transformations etc. Here though I am going to discuss Flows, this is where you bring everything together. On my free account there are some limitations.  My easiest flow is very basic:  Pull parkrun results e-mail from Gmail to Google Sheets (actually done by Zap not Keboola).  Keboola will, as often as I like, in this case once a week, pull the data from the sheet into its storage.  It will then transfer this to the target database. Currently I have this setup to be MySQL database but I can and might expand that to the Snowflake instance within Keboola.  I then, outside of Keboola, connect to the MySQL database f...

Snowflake Scripting - SQL Cursors

Snowflake scripting in SQL seems to be in preview and I have decided to have a play with it. Given how new it is there is limited documentation so I am using a combination of what I can find on the Snowflake site and the odd blog that has been written about it. There appear to be a few quirks, at least when compared to Oracle PL/SQL (though that has been round for years). How many of these are intentional and how many are things to be ironed out I don't know. You can see the procedure I have created it:  Accepts an id as a parameter  Creates a result set selecting from a table, using the parameter as a filter Loads the results set into a cursor.  Loops through the cursor loading the id in the cursor into variable Calls procedure passing in the variable as the parameter.  Then as a proof of concept I tried the Snowflake feature of allowing declaration of variables within the main start and end block.
