Working with DataFrames in Snowpark
Java
In Snowpark, the main way in which you query and process data is through a
DataFrame. This topic explains how to work with DataFrames.
To retrieve and manipulate data, you use the DataFrame class. A DataFrame
represents a relational dataset that is evaluated lazily: it only executes when a
specific action is triggered. In a sense, a DataFrame is like a query that needs to be
evaluated in order to retrieve data.
To retrieve data into a DataFrame:
1. Construct a DataFrame, specifying the source of the data for the dataset.
For example, you can create a DataFrame to hold data from a table, an external
CSV file, or the execution of a SQL statement.
2. Specify how the dataset in the DataFrame should be transformed.
For example, you can specify which columns should be selected, how the rows
should be filtered, how the results should be sorted and grouped, etc.
3. Execute the statement to retrieve the data into the DataFrame.
In order to retrieve the data into the DataFrame, you must invoke a method that
performs an action (for example, the collect() method).
The next sections explain these steps in more detail.
Setting up the Examples for this Section
Some of the examples of this section use a DataFrame to query a table named
sample_product_data . If you want to run these examples, you can create this table
and fill the table with some data by executing the following SQL statements:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE sample_product_data (id INT, parent_id INT, c
INSERT INTO sample_product_data VALUES
(1, 0, 5, 'Product 1', 'prod-1', 1, 10, 1.00, 15, TO_DATE('2021.0
(2, 1, 5, 'Product 1A', 'prod-1-A', 1, 20, 2.00, 30, TO_DATE('202
(3, 1, 5, 'Product 1B', 'prod-1-B', 1, 30, 3.00, 45, TO_DATE('202
(4, 0, 10, 'Product 2', 'prod-2', 2, 40, 4.00, 60, TO_DATE('2021.
(5, 4, 10, 'Product 2A', 'prod-2-A', 2, 50, 5.00, 75, TO_DATE('20
(6, 4, 10, 'Product 2B', 'prod-2-B', 2, 60, 6.00, 90, TO_DATE('20
