Anyone have any brilliant solutions for connecting to Snowflake.

I am currently using ODBC connection with 'ruby-odbc' and 'Sequel' gem but I am finding it incredibly slow. Thirty-Five seconds to load 12 records while it was instantaneous with the now retired MS-SQL back-end. I am not able to execute queries via Active Record I have to first do " db = Sequel.odbc['DSN-NAME]" followed by db.fetch("My SQL Statement") and so on. Any help greatly appreciated as I have been struggling with this for days.
