engines:create#
#rai engines:create [OPTIONS]
Create a new RelationalAI engine.
Options#
| Option | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
--name | Text | The name of the engine. Must be at least three characters, begin with a letter, and may only contain letters, numbers, and underscores. If missing, you are prompted to enter the name interactively. |
--size | Text | The size of the engine. Must be one of HIGHMEM_X64_S or HIGHMEM_X64_M. If missing, you are prompted to select the size interactively. |
--pool | Text | The Snowflake compute pool to create the engine in. If missing, you are prompted to select the pool interactively. Not used in Azure-based project. |
Example#
Use the engines:create command to create a new RelationalAI engine.
For example, to create a new engine named my-engine of size HIGHMEM_X64_S, execute the following command:
#$ rai engines:create --name my_engine --size HIGHMEM_X64_S

---------------------------------------------------
NOTE
The engines:create command blocks until the engine is ready, which may take several minutes.
In Snowflake-based projects, engines are created in a Snowflake compute pool, which you must select from the list of available pools. Use the up and down arrow keys to navigate the list of pools. You can search for a pool by typing part of its name in the prompt.
Alternatively, you can use the --pool option to specify the pool name directly:
#$ rai engines:create --name my_engine --size HIGHMEM_X64_S --pool my_snowflake_pool
---------------------------------------------------
▰▰▰▰ Engine 'my_engine' created!
---------------------------------------------------
Azure-based projects do not use compute pools, so the --pool option is not available.
