What you still need to do
1 thing this tool will not guess at
Array subscript
Snowflake counts array positions from 0, ClickHouse from 1: the same arr[1] is the first element in one and the second in the other, with no error. Adjust every index by one.
Anything left in this list was recognised and left as it was on purpose. A function renamed to one that takes its arguments in a different order produces SQL that runs and returns the wrong rows, which is worse than SQL that fails.
Converting Snowflake to ClickHouse: Key Syntax Differences
Translating SQL queries between Snowflake and ClickHouse involves subtle dialect differences that standard text find-and-replace often misses. Everything below is processed entirely in your browser using SQLParity.
Identifier Quoting
Snowflake: "name"
ClickHouse: `name`
String Literal Escaping
Snowflake: Quotes are doubled (''), backslash is an escape character.
ClickHouse: Quotes are doubled (''), backslash is an escape character.
Null-Safe Equality
ClickHouse: (colA <> colB OR (colA IS NULL AND colB IS NOT NULL) OR (colA IS NOT NULL AND colB IS NULL))
Why In-Browser SQL Conversion Matters
Database migrations frequently involve proprietary business logic, sensitive table schemas, and production column names. When converting SQL between Snowflake and ClickHouse, SQLParity executes all parsing, tokenization, and code rewriting locally in your browser. Zero queries or schemas are transmitted to remote servers.
