Open DbSchema, then click "Connect to Database" on the Main Screen and choose your database system. DbSchema will automatically download the required JDBC driver.
In DbSchema's connection dialog, you can choose "Standard" for a simplified setup, or "Edit Manually" to customize the JDBC URL.
To connect DbSchema to your Snowflake database, begin by obtaining your account URL from the Snowflake Console, as shown below
If you choose the "Standard" connection option:
jdbc:snowflake://your_account_URL?client_metadata_request_use_connection_ctx=true
If you need more detailed connection information, read the Connection Dialog
If you experience connection problems, check your firewall and antivirus settings, as they might be blocking the connection. More information on enabling Firewall Connections is available if needed.
