The CData ADO.NET Provider for Snowflake implements the SnowflakeProviderFactory class to enable you to write generic data access code to Snowflake through the ADO.NET base classes.

Creating Data Access Objects with SnowflakeProviderFactory

The following sections show how to use the SnowflakeProviderFactory class to create objects like SnowflakeConnection, SnowflakeCommand, and SnowflakeDataAdapter in a generic way.

Register and Configure DbConnections

Register the provider to the configuration context and define the DbProviderFactory and DbConnection objects. See Creating DbConnections for a guide.

Querying Using DbCommands

Executing DbCommands describes how to use an existing DbProviderFactory and DbConnection object to execute queries to Snowflake.
