Error Connecting to Snowflake - Object does not exist, or operation cannot be performed

Question & Answer

I have a Snowflake data source that was working, but now it does not seem to be. I click on ‘Validate Connection’ and get the green checkmark. When I click on ‘Update data source’ however, I get the error “Object does not exist, or operation cannot be performed.”.

I verified my uid/pwd work when logging directly into Snowflake.

Hi @Jonathan_Brune - Is it possible to create a new data source instead of updating the existing one?

Yes, good idea. I tried that and got the same error.

I’d have to drop the old one at some point. Is there a way to see what data sets/reports point to that data source?
