Technical requirements
The following is a list of software and hardware installations that are required for this chapter:
- Snowflake account: To get a Snowflake account, go to (https://signup.snowflake.com/) and start a free trial.
- Snowflake Python Connector: The Snowflake Python Connector allows you to run queries from Python. If you installed the requirements for this book, then you already have the library. If not,
pip install
snowflake-connector-python
to get started. - BigQuery account: To get a BigQuery account, go to (https://console.cloud.google.com/bigquery) and start a free trial.
- BigQuery Python Connector: BigQuery also has a Python Connector that works the same way as the Snowflake Python Connector does! It also is in the requirements file that you installed at the beginning of the book, but you can also pip install
google-cloud-bigquery
if you do not have the library yet.
Now that we have everything set up, let’s begin!
