​
Import & Export

Export database service metadata (databases, schemas, owners, tags) to CSV and import changes back. Supports both synchronous and asynchronous operations.

​
Export to CSV

GET /v1/services/databaseServices/name/{fqn}/export
​
fqn
string
required
Fully qualified name of the database service (e.g., snowflake_prod).

​
Export Async

GET /v1/services/databaseServices/name/{fqn}/exportAsync Returns a job ID for large exports that can be polled for completion.

​
Import from CSV

PUT /v1/services/databaseServices/name/{fqn}/import
​
fqn
string
required
Fully qualified name of the database service.
​
dryRun
boolean
default:"true"
If true, validates the CSV without applying changes. Set to false to apply.

​
Import Async

PUT /v1/services/databaseServices/name/{fqn}/importAsync For large imports, use the async variant which returns a job ID.
