SnowSQL
SnowSQL is legacy, replaced by Snowflake CLI (legacy since 2026).
SnowSQL Snowflake CLI
Snowflake's command-line SQL client, used to run queries and every DDL and DML operation including loading data into and unloading it out of tables.
- Its documentation calls it legacy in the opening sentence, then spends the next paragraph recommending you leave.
- It still ships releases, just nothing new in them - Snowflake says features and enhancements now go only to its replacement.
