📢 Introducing SedonaDB: A single-node analytical database engine with geospatial as a first-class citizen.

SedonaSnow

SedonaSnow brings 200+ Apache Sedona geospatial functions directly into your Snowflake environment to complement the native Snowflake spatial functions.

Key Advantages

  • 200+ spatial functions: Such as 3D distance, geometry validation, precision reduction
  • Fast spatial joins: Sedona has special optimizations for performant spatial joins
  • Seamless integration: Works alongside Snowflake's native functions
  • No data movement: Everything stays in Snowflake

Get Started

Here’s an example of how to run some queries on Snowflake tables with SedonaSnow.

USE DATABASE SEDONASNOW;

SELECT SEDONA.ST_GeomFromWKT(wkt) AS geom
FROM your_table;

SELECT SEDONA.ST_3DDistance(geom1, geom2) FROM spatial_data;

Here’s an example of a spatial join:

SELECT * FROM lefts, rights
WHERE lefts.cellId = rights.cellId;

You can see how SedonaSnow seamlessly integrates into your current Snowflake environment.

Next steps

SedonaSnow is an excellent option if you're doing serious spatial analysis in Snowflake. It is fast and provides a wide range of spatial functions. SedonaSnow removes the limitations of Snowflake's built-in spatial functions without forcing you to move your data to another platform.
