## Setting Up a Database Service for Metadata Extraction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can quickly set up a database service for metadata extraction in OpenMetadata SaaS. Below is an example of how to configure a connection using the `Snowflake` Connector:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. ### Log in to OpenMetadata SaaS
|
||
|
|
- Navigate to **Settings > Services > Databases**.
|
||
|
|
- Click on **Add New Service**.
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. ### Select Database Type
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Choose the database type for your service. In this example, select `Snowflake`.
|
||
|
|
- Enter the required details, such as the **Name** and **Description**, to identify the database.

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. ### Enter Connection Details
|
||
|
|
- Provide the necessary connection parameters, such as hostname, port, credentials, etc.
|
||
|
|
- The side panel offers guidance with available documentation, and you can also refer to the specific `Snowflake` Connector [documentation](/connectors)for more information.

|

4. ### Test the Connection
|
||
|
|
Click Test Connection to verify the setup. This will check if OpenMetadata can reach the Snowflake service.
