Is this your first time submitting a feature request?

  • I have read the expectations for open source contributors
  • I have searched the existing issues, and I could not find an existing issue for this feature
  • I am requesting a straightforward extension of existing dbt-snowflake functionality, rather than a Big Idea better suited to a discussion

Describe the feature

As Iceberg tables in Snowflake do not support semi-structured data types (e.g. ARRAY, OBJECT, etc), in order to have full support for Snowflake Iceberg tables in dbt we also need structured data types to be supported (details on Iceberg data types here and on structured data types here).

In the current implementation of the adapted, I'm not able to use these data types, getting the error:

Could not interpret data_type "ARRAY(VARCHAR(16777216))": could not convert "VARCHAR(16777216" to an integer

This issue is similar to what was previously reported for vector types here.

Describe alternatives you've considered
