Answer is B False: E.g. JDBC: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/jdbc.html Snowflake provides a JDBC type 4 driver that supports core JDBC functionality. The JDBC driver must be installed in a 64-bit environment and requires Java 1.8 (or higher). The driver can be used with most client tools/applications that support JDBC for connecting to a database server.

False. A third-party tool that supports standard JDBC or ODBC can connect to Snowflake even without a Snowflake-specific driver. Snowflake provides JDBC and ODBC connectors that adhere to the standard JDBC and ODBC interfaces, allowing third-party tools to establish a connection to Snowflake using these standard protocols. The Snowflake JDBC and ODBC connectors act as bridges between the third-party tools and the Snowflake service, enabling communication and data exchange. As long as the third-party tool supports JDBC or ODBC, it can utilize the Snowflake connectors to connect to Snowflake and interact with the data warehouse. This approach ensures compatibility and interoperability with a wide range of tools and applications that support JDBC or ODBC, making it easier to integrate Snowflake into existing ecosystems or use preferred third-party tools for data analysis, reporting, or other purposes.

This is how I understand the question, if the tool does not come with a snowflake drive, can it be connected to Snowflake? I think the answer is YES, Because Snowflake provides the driver, as long as the tool supports JBDC, the snowflake provided driver can connect the tool to Snowflake. To me, it does not make sense if the question is asking: this tool does support JDBC but does not support Snowflake driver, can it still connected to Snowflake?
