Hi there

We are on METL 1.68.26 hosted on our own AWS server instance.

Our Snowflake JDBC driver is currently version 3.13.26 which I think is what comes standard with our version of METL.

Snowflake has said we need to upgrade to at least JDBC driver version 3.14.0.

I have downloaded what I believe is the correct .jar file from here:

> **[Central Repository: net/snowflake/snowflake-jdbc](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/snowflake/snowflake-jdbc/)**

but it seems I’m unable to upload a Snowflake driver from Manage Drivers:

Is there documentation on how to upgrade the Snowflake JDBC driver in METL?

Thanks!
