Have a question regarding data conversion in snowflake connector for python. I have some timestamp data in Snowflake and I am retrieving it with python connector. I want the timestamp data to be in string format not in datetime.datetime format.

Hi digitalspecz , thanks for your question!

To convert a timestamp in datetime.datetime format to a string format in Python, you can use the strftime() method. Here's an example:

import snowflake.connector # Establish a connection to Snowflake conn = snowflake.connector.connect( user='YOUR_USER', password='YOUR_PASSWORD', account='YOUR_ACCOUNT', warehouse='YOUR_WAREHOUSE', database='YOUR_DATABASE', schema='YOUR_SCHEMA' ) # Create a cursor object cursor = conn.cursor() # Retrieve the timestamp data as datetime objects cursor.execute('SELECT timestamp_col FROM your_table') # Retrieve the timestamp data as strings timestamp_data = [row[0].strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f') for row in cursor.fetchall()] # Close the cursor and connection cursor.close() conn.close()

The strftime() method is used to convert the datetime.datetime object to a string format.

You can adjust the format string to match the specific string format you want to convert the timestamp to.
