Week 5 – Basic

This week, we’re using a feature that, at the time of writing, is pretty hot off the press :
Python in Snowflake.

To start out  create a simple table with a single column with a number, the size and amount are up to you, 

After that we’ll start with a very basic function: multiply those numbers by 3.

The challenge here is not ‘build a very difficult python function’ but to build and use the function in Snowflake.

We can test the code with a simple select statement :

SELECT timesthree(start_int)
FROM FF_week_5
