SQL Statements Supported for Preparation¶

Some drivers and connectors support the ability to send a SQL statement for preparation before execution. Snowflake supports preparation for the following types of SQL statements:

• SELECT

• Data Manipulation Language (DML) commands

• SHOW <objects>

Note that if a driver or connector sends other types of SQL statements for preparation, those statements will not be prepared. For example, if you send a DDL statement for preparation and execution, Snowflake just executes the statement without preparing it.
