The command "snowsql --config ${path-to-configuration_file}" is used to launch the SnowSQL command-line interface (CLI) tool with a specific configuration file.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

• "snowsql": It is the main command to launch the SnowSQL CLI tool.
• "--config": It is an option or flag that specifies that a configuration file will be provided.
• "${path-to-configuration_file}": It is a placeholder for the actual path to the configuration file you want to use. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual file path.

By specifying the configuration file path using the "--config" flag, you can ensure that SnowSQL uses the settings from that configuration file during the session. Configuration files contain connection details, such as the account URL, username, password, and other optional settings required to establish a connection with Snowflake, a cloud-based data warehousing platform.

To execute the command, replace "${path-to-configuration_file}" with the actual file path (e.g., snowsql --config /home/user/config.conf). The configuration file should be in a valid snowsql configuration format, typically a text file.
