This grammar is fully supported in Snowflake.

Sample Source Patterns

Setup data

Redshift

CREATE TABLE employee (
    employee_id INT,
    active BOOLEAN,
    department VARCHAR(100),
    hire_date DATE,
    salary INT
);

INSERT INTO employee (employee_id, active, department, hire_date, salary) VALUES
    (1, TRUE, 'Engineering', '2021-01-15', 70000),
    (2, FALSE, 'HR', '2020-03-22', 50000),
    (3, NULL, 'Marketing', '2019-05-10', 60000),
    (4, TRUE, 'Engineering', NULL, 65000),
    (5, TRUE, 'Sales', '2018-11-05', NULL);

Input Code:

Redshift

IN -> Redshift_01.sql

SELECT
    employee_id,
    (active AND department = 'Engineering') AS is_active_engineering,
    (department = 'HR' OR salary > 60000) AS hr_or_high_salary,
    NOT active AS is_inactive,
    (hire_date IS NULL) AS hire_date_missing,
    (salary IS NULL OR salary < 50000) AS low_salary_or_no_salary
FROM employee;

Results

EMPLOYEE_ID	IS_ACTIVE_ENGINEERING	HR_OR_HIGH_SALARY	IS_INACTIVE	HIRE_DATE_MISSING	LOW_SALARY_OR_NO_SALARY
1	TRUE	TRUE	FALSE	FALSE	FALSE
2	FALSE	TRUE	TRUE	FALSE	FALSE
3	FALSE	FALSE	NULL	FALSE	FALSE
4	TRUE	TRUE	FALSE	TRUE	FALSE
5	FALSE	NULL	FALSE	FALSE	TRUE

Output Code:

Snowflake

OUT -> Redshift_01.sql

    (hire_date IS NULL) AS hire_date_missing,
    (salary IS NULL OR salary < 50000) AS low_salary_or_no_salary
FROM
    employee;

Results

EMPLOYEE_ID	IS_ACTIVE_ENGINEERING	HR_OR_HIGH_SALARY	IS_INACTIVE	HIRE_DATE_MISSING	LOW_SALARY_OR_NO_SALARY
1	TRUE	TRUE	FALSE	FALSE	FALSE
2	FALSE	TRUE	TRUE	FALSE	FALSE
