Recommendations

• Consider using UDFs to emulate the behavior of the source code. The following code provides suggestions of UDFs that can be used to achieve recreating the original behavior:

SQL Server

IN -> SqlServer_01.sql

CREATE  TABLE PRODUCT (ProductID INTEGER, Name VarChar(20), Color VarChar(20));
INSERT INTO PRODUCT(PRODUCTID, NAME, COLOR) VALUES(1,'UMBRELLA','RED');
INSERT INTO PRODUCT(PRODUCTID, NAME, COLOR) VALUES(2,'SHORTS','BLUE');
INSERT INTO PRODUCT(PRODUCTID, NAME, COLOR) VALUES(3,'BALL','YELLOW');

WITH XMLNAMESPACES ('uri' as ns1)  
SELECT ProductID as 'ns1:ProductID',  
       Name      as 'ns1:Name',  
       Color     as 'ns1:Color'  
FROM Product  
FOR XML RAW

Snowflake SQL

OUT -> SqlServer_01.sql

CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE PRODUCT (
       ProductID INTEGER,
       Name VARCHAR(20),
       Color VARCHAR(20))
COMMENT = '{ "origin": "sf_sc", "name": "snowconvert", "version": {  "major": 0,  "minor": 0,  "patch": "0" }, "attributes": {  "component": "transact",  "convertedOn": "07/12/2024" }}'
;

INSERT INTO PRODUCT (PRODUCTID, NAME, COLOR) VALUES(1,'UMBRELLA','RED');
INSERT INTO PRODUCT (PRODUCTID, NAME, COLOR) VALUES(2,'SHORTS','BLUE');
INSERT INTO PRODUCT (PRODUCTID, NAME, COLOR) VALUES(3,'BALL','YELLOW');
