The SAP Analytics Cloud's Snowflake Connector needs these details for setting up a Snowflake connection
[
How can I get these details from Snowflake?
I'm trying to follow this guide
It appears that you're attempting to configure SAP Analytics Cloud's Snowflake Connector.
The host and port of your Snowflake account (also known as its deployment URL) can be taken from the URL you use to connect to Snowflake's Web UI. Here's an example:
For the above URL, the input in the Server field of the form will be mzf0194.us-west-2.snowflakecomputing.com:443 (the 443 port number is the default HTTPS port that Snowflake serves on).
Or alternatively, if you have access to any other Snowflake connected application (such as SnowSQL, etc.) that lets you run a SQL query, run the following to extract it:
select t.value:host || ':443' snowflake
from table(flatten(parse_json(system$whitelist()))) t
where t.value:type = 'SNOWFLAKE_DEPLOYMENT';
An example output that carries the host/port:
+---------------------------------------------+
| SNOWFLAKE |
|---------------------------------------------|
| p7b41m.eu-west-1.snowflakecomputing.com:443 |
+---------------------------------------------+
If you're uncertain about what these all mean, you'll need to speak to other, current Snowflake users or administrators in your organization.

I have deployed a .NET Core Azure Function App running on the consumption pricing plan which connects, through EF Core, to a MS SQL database hosted by my website provider.
I see the following error reported by App Insights when the database connection is attempted:
Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related
or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to
SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify
that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to
allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A
connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly
respond after a period of time, or established connection failed
because connected host has failed to respond.)
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (10060): A connection attempt
failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a
period of time, or established connection failed because connected
host has failed to respond.

I followed the instructions here to obtain the function app's outboundIpAddresses (using Azure Resource Explorer which I also double checked with the Azure CLI).
I passed the list of IP's to the support team at my hosting provider & yet still receive the same error.
I know it's not code related as when I run my function app locally, I can connect fine (my local IP is on the SQL Server allow list).
Why can the Azure function not connect to the database?
This is is a small home project so I can't afford the virtual network NAT gateway route.
running on the consumption pricing plan
Outbound IP addresses reported by functions running on the Consumption plan are not reliable.
As per Azure documentation:
When a function app that runs on the Consumption plan or the Premium plan is scaled, a new range of outbound IP addresses may be assigned. When running on either of these plans, you can't rely on the reported outbound IP addresses to create a definitive allowlist. To be able to include all potential outbound addresses used during dynamic scaling, you'll need to add the entire data center to your allowlist.
Instead, provide your hosting provider with the outbound IP addresses for the Azure region(/data center) where your Azure function is hosted in, to cover all possible IPs that your Azure function may be assigned.
The official Azure IP ranges for all regions are in a JSON file available for download here.
Firstly, download this file.
Secondly, search for AzureCloud.[region name] e.g. AzureCloud.uknorth or AzureCloud.centralfrance which will bring up the IP addresses for Azure cloud in your specific region.
{
"name": "AzureCloud.uknorth",
"id": "AzureCloud.uknorth",
"properties": {
"changeNumber": 11,
"region": "uknorth",
"regionId": 29,
"platform": "Azure",
"systemService": "",
"addressPrefixes": [
"13.87.120.0/22",
...
"2603:1027:1:1c0::/59"
],
"networkFeatures": []
}
}
Finally, provide your hosting provider with all the IP addresses listed in the fragment.
Your Azure function should then be able to consistently connect to your database.
N.B. The list can & will update over time albeit more to add than to change - currently, the last modified date is 26th April 2022 as stated in the details section on the download page.
If anything breaks, ensure to check the page for updates or to guarantee no possible outages, upgrade your pricing plan.
Extra thoughts...
As you mention this is for a small project, I'm not sure what Azure pricing is like but I'd host the same project on AWS.
For the function itself, AWS Lambda's free tier includes 1M free requests per month (like Azure) & 400,000 GB-seconds of compute time per month which should be plenty.
For the connectivity, you'd need a VPC (free), an Internet Gateway (free + negligible data transfer costs), an Elastic IP address (free) and a managed NAT gateway (roughly $1 a day depending on region).
Oh - and you'd get the added benefit of just having 1 Elastic IP address to provide to your hosting provider, which would always stay the same regardless of what 'pricing plan' you're on.
If anything, I'd also take a look at AWS as a potential option for future projects if anything but that's out of scope :)
Error detecting index schema from datasource: "Data source type 'powerquery is not supported

Make sure that you are connecting after requesting access to Power Query connectors. You will be provided instructions on how to use them from the portal.
Power Query connector support is currently in a gated public preview.

How does one go about uploading a database like Apache Cassandra after creating one? Furthermore, is there a way to upload/share only its skeleton structure, without the data gathered in it? I'm on MacOS and would like to use Python to do all of this. Thank you!
Based on your second comment, I guessed it to mean you want the database to be remotely accessible to clients/apps not installed locally.
Clients/apps connect to Cassandra on the IP address set for rpc_address and the CQL port set for native_transport_port (default is 9042) set in cassandra.yaml.
You mentioned that your Cassandra instance is running on your laptop so only clients/apps running on your local network can access it if you configure rpc_address to an IP address accessible on the network (default is localhost).
If you're just trying out Cassandra and want to collaborate with other developer friends, try Astra and launch Cassandra instance on the free-tier (no credit card required). With it you can share the database credentials with your friends and they can connect to it over the internet.
You can connect to Astra from your Python app using the Python driver. Otherwise, Astra includes Stargate.io pre-configured and ready to use. Stargate is a data access gateway that lets you connect to Cassandra from your app using REST API, GraphQL API or JSON/Doc API without having to learn CQL. For more info, see Connecting to your Astra database. Cheers!
I would like to connect my SQL Database on Siteground Hosting to Power BI through the SQL Server connection. However, I need to get the following information which I am not sure where to get:
Siteground Database Credentials in the format: servername:portname
Username & Password (which I have)
And finally, when I inserted the IP Address in item no.1, the error received is as below:
Based on the error above, I figured it could be either:
(i) the IP address I have inserted is wrong; or
(ii) I need to allow remote access to my database on Siteground CPanel:
If item (ii) is the reason for the error, in order to allow PowerBI to access the database, I would need to insert the IP Address of my PowerBI Online which I do not know how to get
I need assistance basically connecting my PowerBI application to my SQL Database created on my hosting account Siteground
Any help is much appreciated.
Your Siteground control panel suggest that the database is MySQL - your are trying to connect to a SQL Server database. They are not the same thing which is probably why it doesn't work.
Try using the MySQL connector for Power BI
First, as Martin Cairney told you, the connector that you are using is wrong - Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL are completely different products, which are not compatible. First change the connector.
The list of IP addresses is something dynamic. There is no guarantee, that Power BI will try to connect to your database from a single IP address only, nor that this IP address will stay the same for a long time. If you go this way, you should maintain this on a weekly basis and monitor for changes. The list of IP addresses can be downloaded from these json files:
Public: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56519
US Gov: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=57063
Germany: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=57064
China: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=57062
They are updated weekly.
Better solution is to move your database to Azure (e.g. Azure MySQL service or MySQL installed in Virtual Machine in Azure) or to migrate to another data source.
However there has been inconsistencies in the ci_session table in the installed MySQL server. Some ip addresses are being inserted repeatedly. However when we login from our system, those ipaddresses are not logged/inserted into the ci_session table. Does this mean that only certain ipaddresses are inserted in the ci_session table?
Can you able to provide guidance on this?
