Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please check if there is any non UTD-8 character in snowflake databaseYou can use validate_utf8 function to validate if all the string columns have valid UTF8. If not, it will return an error. 

E.g:  select validate_utf8('hello');

 

If that can't work for you, Please reinstall the latest version of ODBC driver to have a try.

 

Best Regards,
Xue Ding
