I am using Ignition 8.3. I got my .JAR file here: [Central Repository: net/snowflake/snowflake-jdbc/4.3.1](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/snowflake/snowflake-jdbc/4.3.1/)

I created a JDBC driver called "Snowflake" with the following settings:

 ![{6FA124E9-1A68-43F5-A014-684019210FCE}](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/2/4274d9b2f350b72328b56b0813d330dad5101a20.png)  
 ![{44A9803E-E1AF-4603-B805-EFDE3356BF97}](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/3/131decf4e798d6ffb21ec86e26af99b77eb334c2.png)  
 ![{8EA5DD9F-8376-4849-998D-008737C10195}](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/4/14dbb4cbadd26bc4ba0c2c9f9f33e74886bf2db5.png)

I went to Manage JAR Files then uploaded the file from the above link (snowflake-jdbc-4.3.1.jar).

However when I click Save Changes I get the error message ("1/1 Operations Failed) and the driver continues to show it is in an error state. Has anyone else encountered this?

The jdbc driver name is different in the documentation (you are using 4.x and the driver name you specify is 3.x)

[Configuring the JDBC Driver | Snowflake Documentation](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/jdbc/jdbc-configure)

> Use `net.snowflake.client.api.driver.SnowflakeDriver` as the driver class in your JDBC application.

I also assume that you didn't show the connection string on purpose, all your settings are blank?

I've been following this guide: [JDBC Driver and Database Translator Settings | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/platform/database-connections/connecting-to-databases/jdbc-drivers-and-translators/jdbc-driver-and-database-translator-settings#snowflake)
