Liquibase Parameters for Snowflake

Last updated: August 21, 2026

This page lists all Liquibase parameters specific to Snowflake database connections. These parameters are available in Liquibase Secure.

For a list of general Liquibase parameters, see Liquibase Parameters.

Note: Syntax for each parameter is specified in kebab-case, camelCase, and MACRO_CASE.

For best results, specify all commands and parameters in the--kebab-caseformat in the CLI. If your preference is camelCase, it also works in the CLI.
