Translation reference to convert Teradata PROCEDURE statement to Snowflake

Description

Teradata's PROCEDURE statement is translated to Snowflake PROCEDURE syntax.

SnowConvert Helpers Code was removed from the example. You can find them here.

Some parts of the output code are omitted for clarity reasons.

SnowConvert procedure helpers region

All procedures contain a region called SnowConvert Helpers code, these are a set of variables and functions that help to emulate some Teradata functionality that is not native in JavaScript. For simplicity in the procedures samples code this region will not be shown. Some helpers are added always like EXEC and some others like FETCH, INTO, etc. are added on demand.

The region helpers code is as follows:

Helpers region
