| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This document describes the implementation of Snowflake database support for SQLx. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## 🎉 Implementation Status |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +### ✅ Completed Features |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +1. **Core Database Driver Architecture** |
| 10 | + - ✅ `Database` trait implementation |
| 11 | + - ✅ `Connection` trait with HTTP client for REST API |
| 12 | + - ✅ `Executor` trait for query execution |
| 13 | + - ✅ `Arguments` trait for parameter binding |

| 20 | + - ✅ Support for basic Rust types (String, i32, i64, f32, f64, bool) |
| 21 | + - ✅ Support for binary data (Vec<u8>, &[u8]) with base64 encoding |
| 22 | + - ✅ Comprehensive Snowflake type mapping |
| 23 | + - ✅ Type-safe encoding and decoding |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +3. **Connection Management** |

| 27 | + - ✅ URL parsing for connection strings |
| 28 | + - ✅ Connection options with builder pattern |
| 29 | + - ✅ Basic JWT authentication framework |
| 30 | + - ✅ Proper User-Agent headers |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +4. **Testing Infrastructure** |
| 33 | + - ✅ Unit tests for core components |
| 34 | + - ✅ Integration test framework |
| 35 | + - ✅ Example applications |
| 36 | + - ✅ Compilation tests |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +### ⚠️ Partially Implemented |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +1. **Authentication** |
| 41 | + - ✅ JWT token generation framework |
| 42 | + - ⚠️ Currently uses dummy RSA key (needs real RSA private key) |
| 43 | + - ❌ OAuth authentication flow |
| 44 | + - ❌ Key-pair authentication with real RSA keys |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +2. **Query Execution** |
| 47 | + - ✅ Basic HTTP request structure |
| 48 | + - ✅ Error handling for HTTP responses |
| 49 | + - ❌ Real Snowflake SQL API integration |
| 50 | + - ❌ Result set parsing |
| 51 | + - ❌ Asynchronous query execution |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +### ❌ Not Yet Implemented |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +1. **Any Driver Integration** |
| 56 | + - ❌ Integration with SQLx Any driver for runtime database selection |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +2. **Advanced Features** |
| 59 | + - ❌ Migration support |
| 60 | + - ❌ Listen/Notify (not applicable to Snowflake) |
| 61 | + - ❌ Advanced type support (JSON, Arrays, etc.) |
| 62 | + - ❌ Connection pooling optimizations |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +## 🏗️ Architecture |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +### Key Design Decisions |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +1. **HTTP-based Driver**: Unlike traditional database drivers that use TCP sockets, Snowflake's SQL API is REST-based, requiring HTTP client implementation using `reqwest`. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +2. **JWT Authentication**: Snowflake SQL API requires JWT tokens for authentication, which need to be signed with RSA private keys. |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +3. **JSON Protocol**: All communication with Snowflake is via JSON, requiring careful serialization/deserialization. |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +4. **Async-first Design**: Built on async/await patterns consistent with other SQLx drivers. |
| 75 | + |

| 104 | +## 🚀 Usage Examples |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +### Basic Connection |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +```rust |
| 109 | +use sqlx_oldapi::snowflake::SnowflakeConnectOptions; |
| 110 | +use sqlx_oldapi::{ConnectOptions, Executor}; |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +#[tokio::main] |
| 113 | +async fn main() -> Result<(), sqlx_oldapi::Error> { |
| 114 | + let options = SnowflakeConnectOptions::new() |
| 115 | + .account("your-account") |
| 116 | + .username("your-username") |
| 117 | + .password("your-password") |
| 118 | + .warehouse("your-warehouse") |
| 119 | + .database("your-database") |
| 120 | + .schema("your-schema"); |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | + let mut connection = options.connect().await?; |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | + let result = connection.execute("SELECT CURRENT_VERSION()").await?; |
| 125 | + println!("Rows affected: {}", result.rows_affected()); |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | + Ok(()) |
| 128 | +} |

| 160 | +## 🔧 Configuration |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +### Required Dependencies |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +The Snowflake driver requires the following dependencies in `Cargo.toml`: |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +```toml |
| 167 | +[dependencies] |
| 168 | +sqlx = { version = "0.6", features = ["snowflake", "runtime-tokio-rustls"] } |
| 169 | +``` |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +### Environment Variables |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +For real usage, you'll need: |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +- `SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT`: Your Snowflake account identifier |
| 176 | +- `SNOWFLAKE_USERNAME`: Your Snowflake username |
| 177 | +- `SNOWFLAKE_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH`: Path to your RSA private key file |
| 178 | +- `SNOWFLAKE_PASSPHRASE`: Passphrase for the private key (if encrypted) |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +## 🔐 Authentication |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +### Current Implementation |
| 183 | + |
| 184 | +The current implementation includes: |
| 185 | +- JWT token generation framework |
| 186 | +- Basic claims structure for Snowflake |
| 187 | +- HTTP header management |
| 188 | +- Error handling for authentication failures |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +### Required for Production |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | +To use this with a real Snowflake instance, you need to: |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +1. **Generate RSA Key Pair**: |
| 195 | + ```bash |
| 196 | + openssl genrsa -out snowflake_key.pem 2048 |
| 197 | + openssl rsa -in snowflake_key.pem -pubout -out snowflake_key.pub |
| 198 | + ``` |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | +2. **Assign Public Key to Snowflake User**: |
| 201 | + ```sql |
| 202 | + ALTER USER your_username SET RSA_PUBLIC_KEY='your_public_key_content'; |
| 203 | + ``` |
| 204 | + |
| 205 | +3. **Update Authentication Code**: Replace the dummy JWT key with proper RSA private key signing. |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +## 🚧 Next Steps |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +### High Priority |
| 210 | + |

| 213 | +3. **Parameter Binding**: Implement proper parameter substitution in SQL queries |
| 214 | +4. **Error Handling**: Map Snowflake error codes to appropriate SQLx error types |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | +### Medium Priority |
| 217 | + |
| 218 | +1. **Any Driver Integration**: Add Snowflake to the Any driver for runtime selection |
| 219 | +2. **Advanced Types**: Support for Snowflake-specific types (VARIANT, ARRAY, OBJECT) |
| 220 | +3. **Migration Support**: Implement schema migration utilities |
| 221 | +4. **Performance Optimization**: Connection pooling and request batching |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | +### Low Priority |
| 224 | + |
| 225 | +1. **Documentation**: Comprehensive API documentation and examples |
| 226 | +2. **CI Integration**: Add Snowflake tests to GitHub Actions |
| 227 | +3. **Advanced Features**: Stored procedures, UDFs, etc. |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +## 📊 Test Results |
| 230 | + |
