title: How to get Data from a Mysql Database to Snowflake
body: <p>is there any clever way to get my data from a mysql datatbase into snowflake?
  I found two possible ways so far:</p>
  <p>Option 1: Put a Snowpipe ontop of the mysql database and the pipeline converts the data automatically.
  Option 2: I convert tables manually into csv and store them locally and load them via staging into snowflake.</p>
  <p>For me it seems strange to convert every table into a csv first. Can I not just push a sql dump file to snowflake? Can I also schedule some reload task in snowflake, so either option1 or 2 get triggered automatically?</p>
