FAQs
Explore how SnowConvert AI helps you automate and accelerate migrations using data ecosystem migration agents powered by Snowflake Cortex AI. This FAQ covers key capabilities and how to get started.
How does SnowConvert AI work?
Unlike simple regex or find-and-replace tools, SnowConvert AI combines the best of transpiler technology, builds an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) and a Symbol Table to create a semantic model of the source code — with the power of agentic AI to refine the results.It generates functionally equivalent code in the target platform.
SnowConvert AI also generates assessment reports to help you understand the potential benefits of using SnowConvert AI and provide valuable insights into migrating your code as well as helping with the initial data migration and validation.
Who can use SnowConvert AI?
Customers and partners can download and use SnowConvert AI directly from their Snowsight account and install it on their own computers. We strongly recommend taking the free SnowConvert AI training before attempting your first migration.
What code does SnowConvert AI support?
Supported platforms include:
- Oracle (including PL/SQL and SQLPlus — parsing only)
- Teradata (including Teradata Utility scripts like BTEQ / FastLoad to Python)
- SQL Server and Synapse (Transact-SQL)
- Redshift
- Sybase IQ
- Big Query
- Greenplum
Does SnowConvert AI connect to my source platform?
It depends. SnowConvert AI is a local application that can process files containing source code from a specified directory. For some of the supported platforms, Snowflake includes a more comprehensive data migration experience that connects to the source platform’s environment to extract the DDLs and perform a bulk data migration into Snowflake.
Does SnowConvert AI connect to my Snowflake account?
It depends. SnowConvert AI is a local application that outputs reports and code to a local directory you specify. Only operational data related to SnowConvert AI’s usage is shared with Snowflake. No source or target code is ever transmitted. As part of the new data migration experience, SnowConvert AI also helps with the deployment of the converted objects into Snowflake, as well as uploading the data extracted from the source platform.
Additionally, the agentic AI enhanced functionality utilizes Snowflake's standard CORTEX function to improve the quality of the generated code and to auto-generate test cases to verify translation accuracy.
For more details on which features are available for each source platform please review the SnowConvert AI documentation.
Can I define my own custom translation rules?
Currently, SnowConvert AI allows some customization for code conversion, but fully custom rules are not supported. However, Snowflake Professional Services is working on an extension framework to enable this feature in the future.
