# Snowflake Integration

> Use Isofold as a drop-in proxy for your Snowflake queries.

## Connect Isofold to Snowflake

Isofold can proxy Snowflake queries via JDBC, ODBC, or native client libraries. It rewrites your SQL in-flight to reduce cost while preserving exact results.

***

## JDBC Integration

Update your connection string to route through Isofold:

```text theme={null}
jdbc:snowflake://myteam.proxy.isofold.com/?user=YOUR_USER&password=YOUR_PASSWORD
```

Ensure that your proxy is configured to forward requests to the original Snowflake hostname.

***

## Python Connector (snowflake-connector-python)

Specify the proxy host using the `host` argument:

```python theme={null}
import snowflake.connector

conn = snowflake.connector.connect(
  user='YOUR_USER',
  password='YOUR_PASSWORD',
  account='your-account-id',
  host='myteam.proxy.isofold.com'
)
```

***

## Node.js (snowflake-sdk)

Pass the Isofold proxy as the `host` field:

```ts theme={null}
const snowflake = require('snowflake-sdk')

const connection = snowflake.createConnection({
  account: 'your-account-id',
  username: 'YOUR_USER',
  password: 'YOUR_PASSWORD',
  host: 'myteam.proxy.isofold.com'
})
```

***

## Things to Know

* The Isofold proxy must know how to route to your original Snowflake account domain.
* For full compatibility, the proxy should forward TLS connections using SNI passthrough or application-level routing.
* You can run Isofold inside your cloud or VPC for lower-latency and compliance control. See [self-hosted setup](/setup/self-hosted).

***

## Verification & Auditing

Enable verification mode to compare original vs rewritten queries:

```bash theme={null}
export ISOFOLD_VERIFY_MODE=true
```

***

## Monitoring and Optimization Reports

Once your Snowflake traffic is flowing through Isofold:

* Query rewrites and costs will appear in your dashboard
* You can inspect differences and run dry-run simulations (for supported queries)
