Sign in to Snowflake Open Catalog

Note

New customers should use Snowflake Horizon Catalog for Apache Iceberg™ tables and multi-engine interoperability with Iceberg. Customers who haven’t previously created a Snowflake Open Catalog account can’t sign up for their first Open Catalog account.

Existing Snowflake Open Catalog customers can continue to use and can create additional Open Catalog accounts if necessary.
