_This error occurs when setting up a connection using any of our Snowflake Drivers. This error happens due to an incorrect value set in Warehouse, Database or Schema._

_Additionally, Snowflake is case-sensitive and usually, Databases and Schemas are generated in upper-case letters, so it would help to follow the same convention when completing these connection properties._

_Alternative Solution:_ You can set the IgnoreCase connection property to True. IgnoreCase is a session parameter that specifies whether Snowflake will treat identifiers as case sensitive.

The default value is false (meaning case is sensitive).
