Then you will have to provide the following information:

- **Connection Method:** Allows you to chose if you want to provide data for each required field individually, or instead you prefer to provide a Database URL. The data required is the same for both, the only difference is the method.
- **Snowflake Account:** The account name is when you log in to Snowflake. It has format like `{organization_name}-{account_name}`
- **Username**: The name of the service account user
- **Password**: The password for the service account user
- **Default Query Timeout:** Maximum number of seconds to wait for a query to complete. Defaults to 1800, i.e. thirty minutes. This can be overridden on a per-stream/query basis. Setting this to 0 will disable the timeout
