ALTER SUNDECK FLOW

Allows you to alter one hook at a time. Use these commands to create, replace, place hook in particular order in the flow, enable/disable or drop the hook.

See also:
CREATE SUNDECK FLOW, SHOW SUNDECK FLOWS, DESCRIBE SUNDECK FLOW, DROP SUNDECK FLOW,

Syntax

Creates a new PRE or POST hook in the flow:

ALTER SUNDECK FLOW <name> 
CREATE [ PRE | POST ] HOOK <hook_instance_name> 
{ IF <condition_expression> THEN | ALWAYS } 
<hook_instance_type_name> 
<hook_configuration> 
[ ENABLED ={ TRUE | FALSE } ] 
[ { AFTER | BEFORE } <hook_instance_name> ] 

Modifies the properties, conditions, or configuration of an existing hook in the flow:

ALTER SUNDECK FLOW <name> 
REPLACE [ PRE | POST ] HOOK <hook_instance_name> 
{ IF <condition_expression> THEN | ALWAYS } 
<hook_instance_type_name> 
<hook_configuration> 
[ ENABLED = { TRUE | FALSE } ]

Removes hook from the flow.

ALTER SUNDECK FLOW <name> 
DROP [ PRE | POST ] HOOK <hook_instance_name>

Parameters

<name>
Specifies the identifier for the flow to alter. If the identifier contains spaces, special characters, or mixed-case characters, the entire string must be enclosed in double quotes. Identifiers enclosed in double quotes are also case-sensitive (e.g. “My Object”).
<hook-definition>
An hook instance definition (see hook parameters below).

Hook Parameters

<hook_instance_name>
The identifier you want to give the hook instance when you are creating a new hook or identifier of a hook that you are replacing. If the identifier contains spaces, special characters, or mixed-case characters, the entire string must be enclosed in double quotes. Identifiers enclosed in double quotes are also case-sensitive (e.g. “My Object”).
<condition_expression>
The condition expression is a boolean statement that includes one or more conditions along with parentheses, AND, OR, not, etc. Review the conditions reference for a complete overview.
<hook_instance_type_name>
The type of hook to create. Currently available built-in system Pre-hooks and built-in system Post-hooks
<hook_configuration>
A Snowflake object literal that describes the configuration for the provided hook.
ENABLED = { TRUE | FALSE }
Specifies whether hook will be activated or not. If omitted, hook is activated.
{ AFTER | BEFORE } <hook_instance_name>
Specifies position of the created hook in the flow. If no position mentioned, will be added at end of the flow.

Examples:

ALTER SUNDECK FLOW REPLACE

Create sundeck flow “Rejections”:

CREATE SUNDECK FLOW "Rejections"
    COMMENT 'This flow is used to control access to Snowflake based on criteria'
    PRE HOOK "Reject drop statement"
      IF sql_contains('DROP') or sql_contains('drop') THEN REJECT {'rejectMessage': 'DROP operations are not allowed'}
    ENABLED = FALSE
    DEFAULT_WAREHOUSE = "COMPUTE_WH"
;

You realize that flow should be enabled and error message needs to be more accurate. Use ALTER FLOW … REPLACE statement:

ALTER SUNDECK FLOW "Rejections"
  REPLACE PRE HOOK "Reject drop statement"
  IF sql_contains('DROP') or sql_contains('drop') 
  THEN REJECT {'rejectMessage': 'DROP statements are not allowed'}
  ENABLED = TRUE
;

User vicky should not be allowed to run queries at all, add another hook that will run before any other:

ALTER SUNDECK FLOW "Rejections"
  CREATE  PRE  HOOK "Reject queries from user vicky"
  IF user = vicky THEN
  REJECT
    {'rejectMessage': 'User vicky is not allowed to run queries'}
  ENABLED =TRUE
  BEFORE "Reject drop statement";

Now let’s see what our flow looks like by describing the flow:

test#COMPUTE_WH@(no database).(no schema)>describe sundeck flow "Rejections";
