Change region for existing account in Snowflake


Trying to move from one region to another in Snowflake as they've released relevant functionality in azure since I set up my account. I cannot find any option to do so, but feels like it should be an easy thing to do!

If it's not possible, how to migrate data easily (it's not a large db - less than 5gb)?

Thanks.


Solution

  • you cannot move your account like that, instead you need to set up a new account in the required region and migrate your data across using replication. Thus process is described here: Replication

    Just out of interest, what platform are you currently on and what functionality is available on Azure that us not available where you currently are?
