Question: Snowflake backend?

[andrewcstewart]

Hi there. I seem to recall early on that tidypredict had a specified list of supported db backends? (Though I could be misremembering)

I see the documentation refers to dbplyr as managing the db connections. Do you by any chance know if this would work with Snowflake?

(Snowflake adapters for R are a bit confusing bc their main documentation instructs to use the jdbc driver but the odbc driver works just as well)

No idea. Can you make a reprex to test?

The cool thing about tidypredict is that it uses nothing but dplyr commands to produce the output, so adding support of a new database will depend on the backend. For Snowflake specifically, it should work now thanks to dbplyr recently adding support for that database: https://github.com/tidyverse/dbplyr/blob/master/NEWS.md#dbplyr-211

I think we should be able to close this issue, unless you wish to test it first.
