CREATE SCHEMA

Grammar Syntax

CREATE SCHEMA [ IF NOT EXISTS ] schema_name [ AUTHORIZATION username ]
           [ QUOTA {quota [MB | GB | TB] | UNLIMITED} ] [ schema_element [ ... ]

CREATE SCHEMA AUTHORIZATION username [ QUOTA {quota [MB | GB | TB] | UNLIMITED} ] 
[ schema_element [ ... ] ]

For more information please refer to Redshift CREATE SCHEMA documentation.

Sample Source Patterns

Basic samples

Input Code:

Redshift

IN -> Redshift_01.sql

CREATE SCHEMA s1;

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS s2;

CREATE SCHEMA s3
CREATE TABLE t1
(
    col1 INT
)
CREATE VIEW v1 AS SELECT * FROM t1;

Output Code:

Snowflake

OUT -> Redshift_01.sql

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS s1
COMMENT = '{ "origin": "sf_sc", "name": "snowconvert", "version": {  "major": 0,  "minor": 0,  "patch": "0" }, "attributes": {  "component": "redshift",  "convertedOn": "09/23/2024" }}'
;

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS s2
COMMENT = '{ "origin": "sf_sc", "name": "snowconvert", "version": {  "major": 0,  "minor": 0,  "patch": "0" }, "attributes": {  "component": "redshift",  "convertedOn": "09/23/2024" }}'
;

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS s3
COMMENT = '{ "origin": "sf_sc", "name": "snowconvert", "version": {  "major": 0,  "minor": 0,  "patch": "0" }, "attributes": {  "component": "redshift",  "convertedOn": "09/23/2024" }}'
;
CREATE TABLE t1
(
    col1 INT
)
COMMENT = '{ "origin": "sf_sc", "name": "snowconvert", "version": {  "major": 0,  "minor": 0,  "patch": "0" }, "attributes": {  "component": "redshift",  "convertedOn": "09/23/2024" }}'
;
CREATE VIEW v1
COMMENT = '{ "origin": "sf_sc", "name": "snowconvert", "version": {  "major": 0,  "minor": 0,  "patch": "0" }, "attributes": {  "component": "redshift",  "convertedOn": "09/23/2024" }}'
AS SELECT * FROM
    t1;

Authorization Clause

Input Code:

Redshift

IN -> Redshift_02.sql

CREATE SCHEMA s1 AUTHORIZATION miller;

Output Code:

Snowflake

OUT -> Redshift_02.sql

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS s1
COMMENT = '{ "origin": "sf_sc", "name": "snowconvert", "version": {  "major": 0,  "minor": 0,  "patch": "0" }, "attributes": {  "component": "redshift",  "convertedOn": "09/23/2024" }}'
;

Please be aware that for this case, the authorization clause is removed from the code since Snowflake schemas are owned by roles, not individual users. For more information please refer to Snowflake GRANT OWNERSHIP documentation.

Quota Clause

Input Code:

Redshift

IN -> Redshift_03.sql

CREATE SCHEMA s1 QUOTA UNLIMITED;

CREATE SCHEMA s2 QUOTA 10 TB;

Output Code:

Snowflake

OUT -> Redshift_03.sql

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS s1
COMMENT = '{ "origin": "sf_sc", "name": "snowconvert", "version": {  "major": 0,  "minor": 0,  "patch": "0" }, "attributes": {  "component": "redshift",  "convertedOn": "09/23/2024" }}'
;

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS s2
COMMENT = '{ "origin": "sf_sc", "name": "snowconvert", "version": {  "major": 0,  "minor": 0,  "patch": "0" }, "attributes": {  "component": "redshift",  "convertedOn": "09/23/2024" }}'
;

In Snowflake is not allowed to define a quota per scheme. Storage management is done at the account and warehouse level, and Snowflake handles it automatically. For this reason it is removed from the code.

Create Schema Authorization

In Redshift when the schema name is not specified but the authorization clause is defined, a new schema is created with the owner's name. For this reason this behavior is replicated in Snowflake.

Input Code:

Redshift

IN -> Redshift_04.sql

CREATE SCHEMA AUTHORIZATION miller;

Output Code:

Snowflake

OUT -> Redshift_04.sql

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS miller
COMMENT = '{ "origin": "sf_sc", "name": "snowconvert", "version": {  "major": 0,  "minor": 0,  "patch": "0" }, "attributes": {  "component": "redshift",  "convertedOn": "09/23/2024" }}'
;
