FAQ

Do I need a Tomba account? No. The app connects to Tomba by itself on your first lookup, and Snowflake bills you.

Can I use my tomba.io plan or credits? No. Usage through Snowflake is billed by Snowflake and doesn't use a tomba.io plan.

How much does it cost? $0.0098 per Tomba credit, and you pay only for results. See Pricing and limits.

Am I charged twice for the same lookup? No. Duplicate rows in a run are looked up once, recent results come free from the cache, and repeats within the month use no credits.

How long does a large table take? About 100,000 rows per hour. Run large tables in the background.

What happens if a run stops halfway? Rows already done are kept, and the run continues where it stopped: run it again, or let auto-resume do it.

Can I keep a table enriched automatically? Yes, with a schedule that looks up only new rows.

How do I limit spend? Use max_credits per run and a monthly budget. See Cache and budgets.

Which warehouse should I use? X-Small. Lookups wait on the network, so a bigger warehouse doesn't help.

Where are my results? In TOMBA.results.<output_table>. Copy them to your own database with CREATE TABLE … AS SELECT. See Results and history.

Does Tomba see my tables? No. Only the values you pass to a procedure are sent. See Privacy and security.

Can I use it from dbt, tasks or notebooks? Yes. The tools are stored procedures: call them from anything that runs SQL in your account.
