"\n",
"This demo is using the [Snowflake Sample TPC-H dataset](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/sample-data-tpch) that should be in a shared database named `SNOWFLAKE_SAMPLE_DATA`. You can run this notebook in a Snowflake Notebook. \n",
"\n",
"During this demo you will learn how to use [pandas on Snowflake](https://docs.snowflake.com/developer-guide/snowpark/python/snowpark-pandas) to:\n",
"* Create datframe from a Snowflake table\n",
"* Aggregate and transform data to create new features\n",
"* Save the result into a Snowflake table\n",
"* Create a serverless task to schedule the feature engineering\n",
"\n",
"pandas on Snowflake is delivered through the Snowpark pandas API as part of the Snowpark Python library (preinstalled with Snowflake Notebooks), which enables scalable data processing of Python code within the Snowflake platform. \n",
"\n",
"Start by adding neccessary libraries using the `Packages` dropdown, the additional libraries needed for this notebook is: \n",
"* `modin` (select version 0.28.1)\n",
"* `snowflake`\n",
"* `matplotlib`\n",

Overview
This solution architecture helps you understand how to use Snowflake Notebooks as a first time user
- Use pre-installed libraries in Notebooks and add additional packages from package picker
- Switch between SQL and Python cells in the same notebook
- Use Altair and Matplotlib to visualize your data
- Use Jinja syntax to refer to Python variables within SQL queries, to reference previous cell outputs in your SQL query, and more
Solution Architecture: Getting Started with Snowflake Notebooks
About the Architecture
- In this use-case, we use Snowflake Notebooks to write and execute code, visualize results, and tell the story of your analysis all in one place.
- Contextualize results and make notes about different results with Markdown cells.
- Make use of the role-based access control and other data governance functionality available in Snowflake to allow other users with the same role to view and collaborate on the notebook.
This solution was sourced by a member of the Snowflake Community. It is not maintained on an ongoing basis and may be out of date with current Snowflake instances.
