| ## 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**.
 | |
| 
 | |

 | |
|   alt="Adding Database Service"
 | |
|   caption="Adding Database 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.
 | |
| 
 | |
| {% image
 | |
|   src="/images/v1.7/getting-started/select-service.png"
 | |
|   alt="Selecting Database Service"
 | |
|   caption="Selecting Database Service" /%}
 | |
| 
 | |
| 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.

 | |
|   alt="Configure Service"
 | |
|   caption="Configure Service" /%}
 | |
| 
 | |
| {% image
 | |
|   src="/images/v1.7/getting-started/configure-connector.png"
 | |
|   alt="Updating Connection Details"
 | |
|   caption="Updating Connection Details" /%}
 | |
| 
 | |
| 4. ### Test the Connection
 | |
| Click Test Connection to verify the setup. This will check if OpenMetadata can reach the Snowflake service.
 | |
| 
 | |
| {% image
 | |
|   src="/images/v1.7/getting-started/test-connection.png"
 | |
|   alt="Verifying the Test Connection"
 | |
|   caption="Verifying the Test Connection" /%}
 | |
| 
 | |
| 5. ### Set Default Data Filters
 | |
| 
 | |
| Configure default filters to control which databases, schemas, and tables are included or excluded during ingestion.
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Default Database Filter Pattern
 | |
| - **Includes / Excludes**:  
 | |
|   To add a filter pattern, simply type it in and press `Enter`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Default Schema Filter Pattern
 | |
| - **Includes / Excludes**:  
 | |
|   To add a filter pattern, simply type it in and press `Enter`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Default Table Filter Pattern
 | |
| - **Includes / Excludes**:  
 | |
|   To add a filter pattern, simply type it in and press `Enter`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| These filters help streamline the ingestion process by targeting only the relevant data assets.
