$ snowsql --accountname ${account} --username ${username} --dbname ${database} --schemaname ${schema}

try on your machine

The command "snowsql" is used to start the SnowSQL client, a command-line interface for Snowflake, a cloud-based data warehousing platform.

Here's a breakdown of the command and its options:

"snowsql": This is the actual command to start the SnowSQL client.

Options:

"--accountname ${account}": This option specifies the name of the Snowflake account to connect to. The value of ${account} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the Snowflake account you want to connect to. For example, if your Snowflake account is named "myaccount", you would replace ${account} with "myaccount".
"--username ${username}": This option specifies the username to use for authentication when connecting to Snowflake. The value of ${username} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual username you want to use.
"--dbname ${database}": This option specifies the name of the Snowflake database to connect to. The value of ${database} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the database you want to connect to.
"--schemaname ${schema}": This option specifies the name of the Snowflake schema to use. The value of ${schema} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the schema you want to use.

By providing these options with their respective values, the command allows you to connect to a specific Snowflake account, authenticate with a username, connect to a specific database, and use a specific schema within that database.
