Specifies the name of the application making the connection to Snowflake. This property sets the HTTP User-Agent header for the connection, allowing Snowflake to identify and log queries by application name.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Snowflake logs the application name in query history and session information, making it useful for tracking and monitoring queries from different applications connecting to the same Snowflake environment. It can identify which applications generate heavy workloads. If not specified, Snowflake assigns a default value (often the client driver name).

You can view the ApplicationName in Snowflake's QUERY_HISTORY table.
