@Marvin How can I configure Snowflake and Prefect so that when using the prefect-snowflake connector, Snowflake's custom OAuth is used?

To configure Snowflake and Prefect using the
prefect-snowflake
connector with Snowflake's custom OAuth, follow these steps: 1. Install the necessary package: Ensure you have the
prefect-snowflake
package installed:
Copy code
sh
   pip install prefect-snowflake
2. Define your block with OAuth credentials: Configure a
SnowflakeCredentials
block with the appropriate parameters, specifying
authenticator="oauth"
and providing the OAuth token. Here's an example of how to set this up in code:
Copy code
python
   from prefect_snowflake import SnowflakeCredentials
   from prefect.blocks.system import Secret

   # Load or create your OAuth token as a secret
   oauth_token = Secret.load("MY_OAUTH_TOKEN")

   snowflake_credentials_block = SnowflakeCredentials(
       user="your_snowflake_user",
       account="your_snowflake_account",
       authenticator="oauth",
       token=oauth_token
   )
   snowflake_credentials_block.save(name="my-snowflake-credentials", overwrite=True)

   # Use these credentials in your tasks
   connection = snowflake_credentials_block.get_client()
3. Use the block in your Prefect flow: When creating your flows, load the block and use it to get the Snowflake client:
Copy code
python
   from prefect import flow, task
   from prefect_snowflake import SnowflakeCredentials

   @task
   def query_snowflake():
       snowflake_credentials_block = SnowflakeCredentials.load("my-snowflake-credentials")
       connection = snowflake_credentials_block.get_client()
       # Execute your query here

   @flow
   def my_flow():
       query_snowflake()

   my_flow()
