# Snowflake Data Delivery

> Snowflake access for Credit Benchmark data delivery.

Credit Benchmark data is available as a Snowflake data share, delivered into a dedicated, client-specific database that you query directly from your Snowflake account. No file transfer or ingestion pipeline is required — the data is live in your environment as soon as the share is provisioned.

## Snowflake Marketplace

<Columns cols={1}>
  <Card icon="snowflake" title="Open Credit Benchmark Credit Consensus Ratings in Snowflake Marketplace" href="https://app.snowflake.com/marketplace/listing/GZSVZPHWVR/credit-benchmark-ltd-credit-benchmark-credit-consensus-ratings?originTab=provider&providerName=Credit+Benchmark+Ltd&profileGlobalName=GZSVZPHWVJ" />
</Columns>

The Snowflake Marketplace listing is the entry point for requesting or reviewing access to the Credit Benchmark data share from within Snowflake. A Credit Benchmark subscription is still required before the share can be provisioned to your account.

## What You Get

* A dedicated database containing the tables and views included in your subscription.
* Data refreshed in line with Credit Benchmark's standard publication cycle — no client-side jobs required.
* The ability to join Credit Benchmark data against your proprietary datasets in Snowflake without copying it out.

## Prerequisites

* An active Snowflake account in any supported cloud and region.
* A Credit Benchmark subscription that includes Snowflake delivery.
* The Snowflake **account identifier** for the account that should receive the share. Snowflake supports both organisation-account identifiers and legacy account locator formats.

<Tip>
  In Snowsight, your account identifier is shown under **Admin → Accounts**, or by running `SELECT CURRENT_ORGANIZATION_NAME() || '-' || CURRENT_ACCOUNT_NAME();`.
</Tip>

## Getting Access

<Steps>
  <Step title="Contact your Credit Benchmark representative">
    Let your account manager know you want Snowflake delivery enabled. They will coordinate provisioning with the Credit Benchmark data team.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Provide your Snowflake account identifier">
    Send the account identifier of the Snowflake account that should receive the share. If you need the share delivered to multiple accounts (for example, a separate dev or UAT environment), provide each identifier.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Accept the inbound share">
    Once Credit Benchmark provisions the share, an `ACCOUNTADMIN` in your Snowflake account creates a database from it:

    ```sql theme={null}
    CREATE DATABASE credit_benchmark FROM SHARE <provider_account>.<share_name>;
    GRANT IMPORTED PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE credit_benchmark TO ROLE <your_role>;
    ```

    Credit Benchmark will provide the exact provider account and share name during onboarding.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify access">
    Query one of the views in the new database to confirm the share is live, for example:

    ```sql theme={null}
    SELECT * FROM credit_benchmark.public.<view_name> LIMIT 10;
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Working With the Data

Because the share is read-only and lives in your Snowflake account, you can:

* Query it directly from worksheets, notebooks, or BI tools connected to Snowflake.
* Join Credit Benchmark identifiers against your internal counterparty tables to enrich exposures, watchlists, or limits.
* Build views in your own database that reference the shared objects, without duplicating the underlying data.

The schema, table, and field definitions match the [Data Dictionary](/data/data-dictionary). Field semantics and consensus calculations follow the standard [Methodology](/methodology/intro).

## Security

* The data share is delivered point-to-point between Snowflake accounts; data does not leave Snowflake's managed infrastructure.
* Data is encrypted in transit and at rest by Snowflake.
* Access inside your account is controlled by your Snowflake roles and grants — only roles you explicitly grant `IMPORTED PRIVILEGES` to can read the database.
* Credit Benchmark is ISO 27001 certified.
