@Stefan Stojanovic​, It is a lot of hassle. Still, you can create your metastore as described by snowflake (it will handle Databricks tables without problems as well):

https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/tables-external-hive.html

and add it to Databricks as external hive meta stores

https://docs.databricks.com/data/metastores/external-hive-metastore.html

A more simple way would be (but when I checked it with some other database, it was not working)

take that jar from snowflake and try to register as an external table with JDBC string. Here is an example with Postgres https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-data-sources-jdbc.html
