Hello,

I’m new to dbt and currently trying to follow the Fundamentals course. Unfortunately, I’m currently having some issues with setting up the dbt cloud and Snowflake. I’ve already executed steps 1 to 6 but [step 7](https://docs.getdbt.com/guides/snowflake?step=7) of the tutorial currently fails for me. Whenever I try to execute the code mentioned there, I encounter the following message:

```auto
08:57:52 Opening a new connection, currently in state closed

```

There is already a [similar topic](https://discourse.getdbt.com/t/database-raw-does-not-exist-or-not-authorized/8515) but as there were no replies, I decided to open a new topic.

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you very much.

This is no longer an issue. Thanks to the great dbt support, I was able to solve this. The issue was that the official tutorial included an error that is already [fixed](https://docs.getdbt.com/guides/snowflake?step=7).

Thanks again for the great support! 🙂
