[brianrepko]

This PR upgrades the work from @billwanjohi on #1914 to v5.2.4.

I'm still in the process of testing it

testing is complete on our side - just noticed that clean was generating the wrong SQL

Eagerly waiting for this merge into master. Thanks for a great work @brianrepko

Will this be merged soon? My company is looking at using this for our Snowflake environment

[billwanjohi]

Will this be merged soon?

Unfortunately this is unlikely, per @axelfontaine's comment on a previous pull request:

At this point we would probably need some kind of commercial agreement to account for our testing, maintenance, documentation and support costs. Please get in touch if your company is willing to explore options.

The PR itself is useful as an advertisement to others of a snowflake-compatible fork, but until Flyway changes strategy, don't hold your breath about it getting merged.

Looks like I might have to upgrade this to the 6.0 beta (not sure how much has changed). However, I'm sure that someone from Snowflake could make this work / upgrade it (they do have engineers) and / or they could provide credits to test this out. It's not that difficult really with a cloud-based database. Not sure how much BoxFuse could also invest from the support contracts.

Eagerly waiting for this to be available.

I work with snowflake and would like to use flyway for the versioning. how do I install flyway from this branch?

[billwanjohi]

You can make yourself a jar with the maven wrapper script in this repository. Flyway doesn't have their own instructions for this, but you can get some general guidance from this readme.

[Riteshmshukla]

thank you @billwanjohi. I will give it a try.

[mwessman]

Is there any timeline for when this might be officially supported?

[skippyabroad]

Thanks to all contributors on this. Snowflake biggest up-tick on DBEngines top 100 last month and second behind Presto for the past year.

This PR is probably redundant now as we're working on building Snowflake support into v6.1 .

[juliahayward]

I'm going to close this - 6.1 will be out with Snowflake support next week. Thanks to everyone who contributed!
