- A . IMPORT SHARE;
- B . IMPORT PRIVILEGES;
- C . CREATE DATABASE;
- D . CREATE SHARE;
- E . IMPORT DATABASE;
Files arrive in an external stage every 10 seconds from a proprietary system. The files range in size from 500 K to 3 MB. The data must be accessible by dashboards as soon as it arrives.
How can a Snowflake Architect meet this requirement with the LEAST amount of coding? (Choose two.)
- A . Use Snowpipe with auto-ingest.
- B . Use a COPY command with a task.
- C . Use a materialized view on an external table.
- D . Use the COPY INTO command.
- E . Use a combination of a task and a stream.
When loading data into a table that captures the load time in a column with a default value of either CURRENT_TIME () or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() what will occur?
- A . All rows loaded using a specific COPY statement will have varying timestamps based on when the rows were inserted.
- B . Any rows loaded using a specific COPY statement will have varying timestamps based on when the rows were read from the source.
- C . Any rows loaded using a specific COPY statement will have varying timestamps based on when the rows were created in the source.
- D . All rows loaded using a specific COPY statement will have the same timestamp value.
How does a standard virtual warehouse policy work in Snowflake?
- A . It conserves credits by keeping running clusters fully loaded rather than starting additional clusters.
- B . It starts only if the system estimates that there is a query load that will keep the cluster busy for at least 6 minutes.
- C . It starts only f the system estimates that there is a query load that will keep the cluster busy for at least 2 minutes.
- D . It prevents or minimizes queuing by starting additional clusters instead of conserving credits.
Which feature provides the capability to define an alternate cluster key for a table with an existing cluster key?
- A . External table
- B . Materialized view
- C . Search optimization
- D . Result cache
An Architect would like to save quarter-end financial results for the previous six years.
Which Snowflake feature can the Architect use to accomplish this?
- A . Search optimization service
- B . Materialized view
- C . Time Travel
- D . Zero-copy cloning
- E . Secure views
A company is using a Snowflake account in Azure. The account has SAML SSO set up using ADFS as a SCIM identity provider.
To validate Private Link connectivity, an Architect performed the following steps:
* Confirmed Private Link URLs are working by logging in with a username/password account
* Verified DNS resolution by running nslookups against Private Link URLs
* Validated connectivity using SnowCD
* Disabled public access using a network policy set to use the company’s IP address range However, the following error message is received when using SSO to log into the company account: IP XX.XXX.XX.XX is not allowed to access snowflake. Contact your local security administrator.
What steps should the Architect take to resolve this error and ensure that the account is accessed using only Private Link? (Choose two.)
- A . Alter the Azure security integration to use the Private Link URLs.
- B . Add the IP address in the error message to the allowed list in the network policy.
- C . Generate a new SCIM access token using system$generate_scim_access_token and save it to Azure AD.
- D . Update the configuration of the Azure AD SSO to use the Private Link URLs.
- E . Open a case with Snowflake Support to authorize the Private Link URLs’ access to the account.
Which steps are recommended best practices for prioritizing cluster keys in Snowflake? (Choose two.)
- A . Choose columns that are frequently used in join predicates.
- B . Choose lower cardinality columns to support clustering keys and cost effectiveness.
- C . Choose TIMESTAMP columns with nanoseconds for the highest number of unique rows.
- D . Choose cluster columns that are most actively used in selective filters.
- E . Choose cluster columns that are actively used in the GROUP BY clauses.
Which Snowflake data modeling approach is designed for BI queries?
- A . 3NF
- B . Star schema
- C . Data Vault
- D . Snowflake schema
How is the change of local time due to daylight savings time handled in Snowflake tasks? (Choose two.)
- A . A task scheduled in a UTC-based schedule will have no issues with the time changes.
- B . Task schedules can be designed to follow specified or local time zones to accommodate the time changes.
- C . A task will move to a suspended state during the daylight savings time change.
- D . A frequent task execution schedule like minutes may not cause a problem, but will affect the task history.
- E . A task schedule will follow only the specified time and will fail to handle lost or duplicated hours.
