Check if the database RAW exists in your snowflake account, then check if dbt has the permissions to use the database

dbt assumes a role when connecting to snowflake (if dbt-core the role is in profiles.yml, if dbt Cloud the role is in the connection config)

Then use show grants to check permissions [SHOW GRANTS | Snowflake Documentation](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/show-grants)
