Snowflake is a cloud-based data warehousing platform designed to handle large volumes of data with ease and efficiency. It provides a fully managed service that allows businesses to store, process, and analyze data with high performance and scalability. Snowflake's architecture separates storage and compute, enabling users to scale resources independently and pay only for what they use.
When working with Snowflake, you might encounter the error code 000619 (57P16), which indicates an "Invalid network policy." This error typically arises when there is an issue with the network policy configuration for your Snowflake account.
Users may notice that they are unable to connect to their Snowflake account or execute queries due to network restrictions. The error message explicitly states that the network policy is invalid, preventing access to the Snowflake environment.
The error code 000619 (57P16) is triggered when the network policy defined for a Snowflake account is not valid. Network policies in Snowflake are used to control access to your account by specifying allowed or blocked IP addresses. An invalid policy can result from incorrect IP address formats, syntax errors, or misconfigurations in the policy settings.
To resolve the "Invalid network policy" error, follow these steps to verify and correct your network policy configuration:
Access the Snowflake web interface or use the Snowflake command-line interface (CLI) to review the current network policy settings. Ensure that the IP addresses are correctly formatted and that there are no syntax errors. For guidance on network policy syntax, refer to the Snowflake Network Policies Documentation.
If errors are found, modify the network policy to correct any issues. Use the following SQL command to alter the network policy:
ALTER NETWORK POLICY <policy_name> SET ALLOWED_IP_LIST = ('<ip_address>', '<ip_address>');
Replace <policy_name>
with the name of your network policy and <ip_address>
with the correct IP addresses.
After making changes, validate the network policy to ensure it is correctly configured. Test the connectivity to your Snowflake account to confirm that the error is resolved.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the "Invalid network policy" error and restore access to your Snowflake environment.
