# Snowflake ## Set up a Snowflake connection When inside a workbook, click **View** > **Databases**, then click the **+** icon and follow the on-screen instructions. To find your account name, follow [these instructions](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/admin-account-identifier). Note that in some cases, it's necessary to [include your cloud region in the identifier](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/admin-account-identifier#format-2-legacy-account-locator-in-a-region).

For detailed instructions, see [Connect your data to DataLab](/connect-to-data/connect-your-data-to-workspace.md). If you want to experiment with Snowflake without setting up a connection, you can use our sample data warehouse with London Public Transit data. ## Query the database You can now query the Snowflake data warehouse with a [SQL cell](/work/sql-cell.md). Select it in the **Select source** dropdown in the top left corner of a SQL cell, or select the sample Snowflake database.

Example of a SQL cell using the `London Public Transport` connection. The query result is available as `TFL_JOURNEYS`.
