Use the Snowflake Zero-Copy V2 Connector for Enhanced Data Sharing

Share data with Snowflake using the Snowflake zero-copy V2 connector. Authenticate with OIDC and act on change data with streams and tasks. Create a data share and a Snowflake V2 data share target, link them, and query your data as a mounted Snowflake database without duplicating it. Previously, Data 360 used username and password-based OAuth through the legacy Snowflake data share target.

Where: This change applies to Data 360 Developer, Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited editions. This change isn’t available in Government Cloud.

When: This functionality is available in sandbox and production environments on a rolling basis starting in August 2026.

How: In Data 360, create a data share and a Snowflake V2 data share target, then link them. In Snowflake, accept the share and query the data as a mounted database.

Important
Important You can’t create a legacy Snowflake data share target. Migrate existing data shares that use a legacy Snowflake data share target to a Snowflake V2 data share target by October 31, 2026. Verify the connection and make sure that data shares linked to the Snowflake V2 data share target work before you unlink them from the legacy target. Downstream pipelines and dashboards then keep receiving data without interruption.
