When cloning a database containing stored procedures and regular views with fully qualified table references, the cloned views and stored procedures will reference the cloned tables in the cloned database (A). This ensures that the cloned database is a self-contained copy of the original, with all references pointing to objects within the same cloned database. References: SnowPro Core Certification cloning database stored procedures views

The LOGIN_HISTORY view in the ACCOUNT_USAGE schema provides information about login attempts, including both successful and failed logins. This view can be used to review the failed login attempts of a specific user for the past 30 days. References: [COF-C02] SnowPro Core Certification Exam Study Guide

 When a pipe is recreated using the CREATE OR REPLACE PIPE command, the load history of the pipe is reset. This means that Snowpipe will consider all files in the stage as new and will attempt to load them, even if they were loaded previously by the old pipe2.

 Organizing files into logical paths can significantly improve the efficiency of data loading from an external stage. This practice helps in managing and locating files easily, which can be particularly beneficial when dealing with large datasets or complex directory structures1.

To manage compliance with Personal Identifiable Information (PII) requirements, the Virtual Private Snowflake and Business Critical Editions of Snowflake should be used. These editions provide advanced security features necessary for handling sensitive data

 Protegrity is listed as a data tokenization integration partner for Snowflake. This partnership allows Snowflake users to utilize Protegrity’s tokenization solutions within the Snowflake environment3.

 To ensure that additional multi-clusters are resumed with no delay, a virtual warehouse should be configured to a size larger than generally required. This configuration allows for immediate availability of additional resources when needed, without waiting for new clusters to start up

A well-clustered table in Snowflake means that the data is organized in such a way that related data points are stored close to each other within the micro-partitions. This optimizes query performance by reducing the amount of scanned data. The diagram indicated by option C shows a well-clustered table, as it likely represents a more evenly distributed range of values across the micro-partitions1.

When loading data into Snowflake, it is recommended to organize the data into single files with 100-250 MB of compressed data per file. This size range is optimal for parallel processing and can help in achieving better performance during data loading operations. References: [COF-C02] SnowPro Core Certification Exam Study Guide

The UNDROP command in Snowflake can be used to directly restore Views and Tables. These objects, when dropped, are moved to a ‘Recycle Bin’ where they can be restored within a time limit before they are permanently deleted. References: [COF-C02] SnowPro Core Certification Exam Study Guide

Worksheets in Snowsight can be shared directly with other Snowflake users within the same account. This feature allows for collaboration and sharing of SQL queries or Python code, as well as other data manipulation tasks1.

Snowflake’s architecture is designed to operate entirely on cloud infrastructure. It uses the core compute and storage services of each cloud provider, which allows it to leverage the scalability and reliability of cloud resources. Snowflake’s services are deployed across multiple availability zones within a cloud provider’s region to ensure high availability and fault tolerance.

Operations that do not require compute resources are typically those that can leverage previously cached results. However, if no queries have been executed previously, all the given operations would require compute to execute. It’s important to note that certain operations like DDL statements and queries that hit the result cache do not consume compute credits2.

 In the Snowflake Data Marketplace, the types of data listings available include ‘Vendor’, which refers to the providers of data, and ‘Personalized’, which indicates customized data offerings tailored to specific consumer needs45.

The parse_json() function in Snowflake interprets an input string as a JSON document and produces a VARIANT value containing the JSON document. This function is specifically designed for parsing strings that contain valid JSON information3.
