Snowpark Migration Accelerator: SQL statements¶

Tagged elements ¶

SQL statements are tagged to monitor usage and consumption.

Statements	HiveSQL	SparkSQL	SnowSQL
CREATE TABLE	SUPPORTED	SUPPORTED	FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENT
CREATE VIEW	SUPPORTED	SUPPORTED	FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENT
CREATE FUNCTION	NOT SUPPORTED	SUPPORTED	FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENT
ALTER TABLE	SUPPORTED	SUPPORTED	FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENT
ALTER VIEW	SUPPORTED	SUPPORTED	FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENT

Note

When a comment is marked as “FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENT,” it means that only the comment’s transformation to Snowflake has been validated. Any other statements within the comment are not included in this status assessment.

Usages ¶

The tool identifies and tags the following statements:

CREATE STATEMENTS¶

CREATE statements will include tags in two scenarios:

The SQL statement is missing the COMMENT property.
The SQL statement includes a COMMENT property, but no value has been assigned to it.

If a SQL statement includes a comment, the comment will be preserved during the conversion process.

Example ¶

Input (Apache SparkSQL)

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW some_view
AS
SELECT id, name FROM some_table WHERE some_column > 5;

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION blue()
RETURNS STRING
LANGUAGE SQL
COMMENT ''
RETURN '0000FF';

CREATE TABLE my_varchar (
    COL1 VARCHAR(5)
) COMMENT 'The Table';

Copy

Output (Snowflake SQL)

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW some_view
COMMENT = '{"origin":"sf_sit","name":"sma","version":{"major":1,"minor":2,"patch":3},"attributes":{"language":"HiveSql"}}'
AS
SELECT
   id,
   name
FROM
   some_table
WHERE
   some_column > 5;
   
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION blue()
RETURNS STRING LANGUAGE SQL
COMMENT = '{"origin":"sf_sit","name":"sma","version":{"major":0,"minor":0,"patch":0},"attributes":{"language":"SparkSql"}}'
RETURN '0000FF';

CREATE TABLE my_varchar
(COL1 VARCHAR(5))
COMMENT = 'The Table';

Copy

The formatting of the generated code may appear different from the source code due to formatting differences in the original file.

Create Table ¶

Input code (SparkSQL)

CREATE TABLE SOME_TABLE
(COL1 VARCHAR(5));

Copy

Output code (Snowflake SQL)

CREATE TABLE SOME_TABLEA
(COL1 VARCHAR(5))
COMMENT = '{"origin":"sf_sit","name":"sma","version":{"major":0,"minor":0,"patch":0},"attributes":{"language":"SparkSql"}}';

Copy

CREATE VIEW ¶

Source Code (HiveSQL)

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW experienced_employee
AS
SELECT id, name FROM all_employee
WHERE working_years > 5;

Copy

Output code (Snowflake SQL)

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW experienced_employee
COMMENT = '{"origin":"sf_sit","name":"sma","version":{"major":1,"minor":2,"patch":3},"attributes":{"language":"HiveSql"}}'
AS
SELECT
   id,
   name
FROM
   all_employee
WHERE
   working_years > 5;

Copy

CREATE FUNCTION ¶

Input code (SparkSQL)

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION blue()
RETURNS STRING
LANGUAGE SQL RETURN '0000FF';

Copy

Output (Snowflake SQL)

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION blue()
RETURNS STRING
LANGUAGE SQL
COMMENT = '{"origin":"sf_sit","name":"sma","version":{"major":0,"minor":0,"patch":0},"attributes":{"language":"SparkSql"}}'
RETURN '0000FF';

Copy

ALTER STATEMENTS¶

ALTER statements include a tag when the comment property is empty. This occurs in two scenarios in SparkSQL:

When using SET TBLPROPERTIES with an empty comment
When using UNSET TBLPROPERTIES

Examples¶

SET TBLPROPERTIES (ALTER VIEW and ALTER TABLE)

Input (Apache Spark SQL)

ALTER TABLE SOME_TABLE SET TBLPROPERTIES ('comment'= ' ');
-- ALTER VIEW
ALTER VIEW SOME_VIEW SET TBLPROPERTIES ('comment'= ' ');

Copy

Output (Snowflake SQL)

-- ALTER TABLE
ALTER TABLE SOME_TABLE
SET TBLPROPERTIES ('comment' = '{"origin":"sf_sit","name":"sma","version":{"major":0,"minor":0,"patch":0},"attributes":{"language":"SparkSql"}}');

-- ALTER VIEW
ALTER VIEW SOME_VIEW
SET TBLPROPERTIES ('comment' = '{"origin":"sf_sit","name":"sma","version":{"major":0,"minor":0,"patch":0},"attributes":{"language":"SparkSql"}}');

**Input (Apache HiveSQL)**

```{code} sql
:force:
-- ALTER TABLE
ALTER TABLE SOME_TABLE SET TBLPROPERTIES ('comment'= ' ');

-- ALTER VIEW
ALTER VIEW SOME_VIEW SET TBLPROPERTIES ('comment'= ' ');

Copy

Output (Snowflake SQL)

-- ALTER TABLE
ALTER TABLE SOME_TABLE
SET TBLPROPERTIES ('comment' = '{"origin":"sf_sit","name":"sma","version":{"major":0,"minor":0,"patch":0},"attributes":{"language":"HiveSql"}}');

-- ALTER VIEW
ALTER VIEW SOME_VIEW
SET TBLPROPERTIES ('comment' = '{"origin":"sf_sit","name":"sma","version":{"major":0,"minor":0,"patch":0},"attributes":{"language":"HiveSql"}}');

Copy

UNSET TBLPROPERTIES (ALTER VIEW and ALTER TABLE)

Input (Apache Spark SQL)

-- ALTER TABLE
ALTER TABLE SOME_TABLE UNSET TBLPROPERTIES ('comment');

-- ALTER VIEW
ALTER VIEW SOME_VIEW UNSET TBLPROPERTIES ('comment');

**Output (Snowflake SQL)**

```{code} sql
:force:
-- ALTER TABLE
ALTER TABLE SOME_TABLE
UNSET TBLPROPERTIES ('comment')
ALTER TABLE SOME_TABLE
SET COMMENT = '{"origin":"sf_sit","name":"sma","version":{"major":0,"minor":0,"patch":0},"attributes":{"language":"SparkSql"}}'

-- ALTER VIEW
ALTER VIEW SOME_VIEW
UNSET TBLPROPERTIES ('comment')
ALTER VIEW SOME_VIEW
SET COMMENT = '{"origin":"sf_sit","name":"sma","version":{"major":0,"minor":0,"patch":0},"attributes":{"language":"SparkSql"}}'
