Description

Fixes #6207

SnowflakeEngineAdapter._drop_catalog only drops a database after confirming in INFORMATION_SCHEMA.DATABASES that it carries the sqlmesh_managed comment. The DATABASE_NAME literal for that check was built from the identifier object (exp.Literal.string(catalog_name)), which renders the identifier as SQL. For a catalog name that has to be quoted, such as my-db__dev, the comparison became "DATABASE_NAME" = '"my-db__dev"' with the quotes inside the string, so it never matched. The adapter then logged Not dropping database "my-db__dev" because there is no indication it is 'sqlmesh_managed' and the expired environment catalog was left behind on every janitor run.

The check now compares against catalog_name.name, the bare identifier name, which is what CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS "my-db__dev" stored. Names that do not need quoting are unaffected (str(identifier) and .name coincide for them), so the existing test_drop_catalog output is unchanged.

Test Plan

• Added test_drop_catalog_quoted_name, parametrised over a string with a hyphen (as passed by the janitor), a quoted identifier with a space and a quoted mixed-case identifier. It fails on main (the literal contains the double quotes) and passes with this change.
• pytest tests/core/engine_adapter/test_snowflake.py: 53 passed, 1 skipped.
• pre-commit run --files sqlmesh/core/engine_adapter/snowflake.py tests/core/engine_adapter/test_snowflake.py: ruff, ruff-format, mypy passed.
• make fast-test: 2811 passed, 6 skipped; the only failures are the six MSSQL/Fabric pyodbc connection-string tests in tests/core/test_connection_config.py, which cannot load the unixODBC library on my machine and are unrelated to this change.

Checklist

• I have run make style and fixed any issues
• I have added tests for my changes (if applicable)
• All existing tests pass (make fast-test)
• My commits are signed off (git commit -s) per the DCO

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed Snowflake catalog removal for database names that require quoting or preserve letter case. These catalogs are now correctly recognized and removed using their expected names, preventing failures when managing databases with special or mixed-case naming. This also improves consistency for catalog operations across standard and quoted database names.

Walkthrough

The Snowflake catalog drop check now compares the stored database name with the bare catalog identifier name. Parameterized tests cover names that require quoting, including hyphenated, spaced, and mixed-case names.

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Catalog name check and coverage sqlmesh/core/engine_adapter/snowflake.py, tests/core/engine_adapter/test_snowflake.py	The managed-database existence check uses the identifier’s name string. Parameterized tests verify the existence query and quoted drop statement for names that require quoting.

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: Low · up to aa8c4

This change lets the Snowflake janitor drop expired catalogs whose names require quoting. A rare setup that enables case-insensitive quoted identifiers and has databases differing only by case could drop the wrong database. This is a bounded edge case that the owner should be aware of or follow up on.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #6207 requires the Snowflake managed-database check to compare quoted catalog names with their bare identifier names. _drop_catalog now uses catalog_name.name for DATABASE_NAME. The added parameterized tests cover a hyphenated name, a name with a space, and a quoted mixed-case name. The reported existing behavior for unquoted names remains unchanged.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The code change is limited to the managed-database name comparison in _drop_catalog. The added tests directly verify the behavior required by issue #6207. No unrelated changes appear in the whole-PR diff.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Check the database that Snowflake will drop.

If QUOTED_IDENTIFIERS_IGNORE_CASE is true, Snowflake resolves "my-db__dev" as "MY-DB__DEV". If both databases exist and the lowercase one is marked as managed, this check passes but the drop targets the uppercase database, even if it is unmanaged. This can occur after the session parameter changes. (docs.snowflake.com)

Resolve the name under the session’s identifier rules before checking its managed status. Add a test for this case.

This already happens on main for names that don't need quoting: drop_catalog("foo") checks DATABASE_NAME = 'foo' and then runs DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS "foo" (that's what test_drop_catalog asserts), so with QUOTED_IDENTIFIERS_IGNORE_CASE on it resolves to FOO in the same way. This PR only lets names like my-db__dev pass the check, and the adapter doesn't account for that session parameter anywhere else, so I'd leave it out of scope here.

@DG47 You’re right. The existing test_drop_catalog on main asserts the same check and drop statements for foo.

This PR exposes the mismatch for names that need quoting, but I agree that handling the session parameter can be a separate change. The risk remains that the check can authorize a drop of a different, unmanaged database.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue?
