Matillion ETL: Use Snowflake Query Tags to add a job reference to queries

Snowflake queries can be tagged.

A (string) tag is added to the query and can be accessed via Query History. This allows you, e.g., to track Snowflake credit usage for certain subject areas. For example, you could add a department name (sales, crm, ...) or even a reference to a report/dashboard from your reporting tool. Afterwards, you can sum all credits for a given tag. Matillion DPC could make use of these tags and add a reference to job that is executing the query to this field. With this, it is possible to track Snowflake Credit usage on a per-job basis. This could be very helpful to optimize Matillion jobs and track which jobs consume the most credits.
