Snowflake Developer Cheatsheets

Single-file, copy-paste-ready quick references for Snowflake features developers reach for daily. Not docs. Not tutorials. The 5–10 things you actually use, verified once, formatted to fit in your peripheral vision.

Cheatsheets

| Cheatsheet | What it covers | | --- | --- | | [Executor Role](executor-role-cheatsheet.md) | EXECUTE AS OWNER/CALLER, task/dynamic table execution context, masking policy context functions, troubleshooting permission errors | | [Snowflake CLI](snowflake-cli-cheatsheet.md) | snow CLI commands, connection management, SQL execution, object management | | [SPCS](spcs-cheatsheet.md) | Snowpark Container Services setup, compute pools, service specs, image registry | | [Warehouses](warehouses-cheatsheet.md) | Warehouse sizing, auto-suspend, multi-cluster, resource monitors, cost controls | | [Iceberg](iceberg-cheatsheet.md) | Iceberg table creation, catalog integration, storage options, time travel | | [Snowflake Postgres](snowflake-postgres-cheatsheet.md) | Snowflake Postgres instances, pg_lake, CLD setup, managed storage | | [GitHub Authentication](snowflake-gh-authn-cheatsheet.md) | OIDC-first auth, GitHub Actions integration, PAT fallback | | [RAG Evaluation](rag-evaluation-cheatsheet.md) | RAGAS metrics, Cortex evaluation functions, evaluation dataset setup | | [Cortex Code](cortex-code-cheatsheet.md) | Cortex Code CLI commands, sessions, skills, context management |

Why a cheatsheet, not just asking an agent?

> A cheatsheet is the answer you already verified, ready the moment you need it. > An AI agent is the answer you hope is right, arriving after a round-trip.

Agents re-generate every time. That means hallucination risk (confidently wrong flags, deprecated syntax, commands that don't exist), 2–10 second round-trip latency, and no offline use. A cheatsheet has been manually verified once, survives a plane flight or an air-gapped VPC, and can be pinned in Slack, bookmarked, or pasted into onboarding docs. It also builds mental models in a way that prompting doesn't.

The mistake is using an agent as a faster cheatsheet. Agents win on reasoning over *your specific context* — debug this error, explain why this query is slow, generate this pipeline from a description. That is not what a cheatsheet is for.
