Snowflake date and time dimension

January 28, 2019

Here is a simple SQL script that will generate a date dimension in Snowflake. We are using the built-in GENERATOR and SEQ function. Start date for the dimension is 2017-01-01.

If you need a little extra and want to include a global holiday calendar in your date dimension you will be glad to hear that we have made a Date Dimension with Global Holiday Calendar dataset available on the marketplace https://www.snowflake.com/datasets/sonra-date-dimension-with-global-holiday-calendar/. If you want to find out more about our dataset go to our blog post where we explain it in more depth https://sonra.io/snowflake/date-dimension-with-global-holiday-calendar/
