What support does Liquibase have for Snowflake?

Last updated: August 12, 2026

Snowflake enables data storage, processing, and analytic solutions and runs on the cloud infrastructure. Snowflake is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) that offers:

No hardware (virtual or physical) to select, install, configure, or manage.
Virtually no software to install, configure, or manage.
Ongoing maintenance, management, upgrades, and tuning are handled by Snowflake.

Verified database versions

Cloud

Support for Snowflake is built into Liquibase Open Source and Liquibase Secure, so no additional download is needed.

Getting started tutorials

Connect Liquibase to Snowflake: Configure Liquibase Secure or Liquibase Open Source for Snowflake and optionally access all Liquibase Secure features

Liquibase Secure Features

The Liquibase Snowflake Secure extension supports the use of all Liquibase Secure features, including:

Policy Checks: automatically analyze your changelogs for desired format and behavior to increase deployment success rates and uphold security best practices
Integrate AWS with Liquibase Secure: integrate the use of AWS S3, AWS Secrets Manager, and Amazon DynamoDB Secure
Secrets Management includes AWS Secrets Manager and HashiCorp Vault: keep your authentication data secure by integrating with third-party secrets vaults
Structured Logging: improve your database observability by easily reading Liquibase data in your favorite analytics tool
Liquibase Observability: generate Operation Reports of operations you perform on your database
Flow Files: create repeatable, portable, and platform-independent Liquibase workflows to run in any of your CI/CD tools
Remote file access: centralize file management with AWS S3 to build a reusable repository of Liquibase files you can update and retrieve
DATABASECHANGELOGHISTORY table: record the history of all changes made to your database
Targeted rollback: avoid collateral damage by specifying which changesets in your changelog to undo

Database Inspection Support: refers to Liquibase's ability to use snapshot, diff, diff-changelog, and generate-changelog commands with the object type. This enables use cases like state-based migration and drift detection.
