Datasource Metadata - Initialization

Select a stage and upload the stored procedure to enable bulk updates for datasource metadata.

1. (Optional) Create a new stage for datapancake files (or use an existing stage)

CREATE STAGE <DATABASE>.<SCHEMA>.DATAPANCAKE_FILES;

For more details on creating a stage, see https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/create-stage

2. Copy the Datasource Metadata Procedure DDL

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE <DATABASE_NAME>.<SCHEMA_NAME>.sp_update_datapancake_datasource_metadata(
    FILE_PATH string,
    ARCHIVE_PATH string, 
    USER_NAME string
)
RETURNS string
LANGUAGE PYTHON
RUNTIME_VERSION = '3.11'
PACKAGES = ('snowflake-snowpark-python','orjson')
HANDLER = 'update_datapancake_datasource_metadata'
EXECUTE AS CALLER

        # Default=str handles values like datetime or decimal types  
        
        datasource_data = orjson.dumps(records,default=str).decode("utf-8")

        # Step 7: Call the DataPancake procedure to update the datasource metadata
        result = session.call("DATAPANCAKE.CORE.UPDATE_DATAPANCAKE_DATASOURCE_METADATA_CORE",USER_NAME, datasource_data, FILE_PATH)

            session.sql(f"REMOVE '{FILE_PATH}'").collect()

$$;

3. Paste the DDL and modify the database, schema name, and DataPancake application database name

4. Execute the create stored procedure statement

5. Verify the stored procedure was created successfully
