Q: How do I set up a basic CDC workflow in Snowflake?

  1.  A: The blog outlines:

Create a source (OLTP) table

Use Python (and libraries like snowflake-connector-python, sqlalchemy, pandas) to load data into Snowflake

Create a Snowflake Stream object on that table to capture changes (captures metadata such as METADATA$ACTION, METADATA$ROWID, etc.)
Use a SQL MERGE into a final target table to apply inserts/updates/deletes based on captured changes.
