The IT Security team has identified that there is an ongoing credential stuffing attack on many of their organization’s system.
What is the BEST way to find recent and ongoing login attempts to Snowflake?
A company is trying to Ingest 10 TB of CSV data into a Snowflake table using Snowpipe as part of Its migration from a legacy database platform. The records need to be ingested in the MOST performant and cost-effective way.
How can these requirements be met?
An Architect is troubleshooting a query with poor performance using the QUERY_HIST0RY function. The Architect observes that the COMPILATIONJHME is greater than the EXECUTIONJTIME.
What is the reason for this?
The following DDL command was used to create a task based on a stream:
Assuming MY_WH is set to auto_suspend – 60 and used exclusively for this task, which statement is true?
Which of the following are characteristics of Snowflake’s parameter hierarchy?
An Architect is designing a pipeline to stream event data into Snowflake using the Snowflake Kafka connector. The Architect’s highest priority is to configure the connector to stream data in the MOST cost-effective manner.
Which of the following is recommended for optimizing the cost associated with the Snowflake Kafka connector?
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 Snowflake Architect is setting up database replication to support a disaster recovery plan. The primary database has external tables.
How should the database be replicated?
A healthcare company is deploying a Snowflake account that may include Personal Health Information (PHI). The company must ensure compliance with all relevant privacy standards.
Which best practice recommendations will meet data protection and compliance requirements? (Choose three.)
A retail company has over 3000 stores all using the same Point of Sale (POS) system. The company wants to deliver near real-time sales results to category managers. The stores operate in a variety of time zones and exhibit a dynamic range of transactions each minute, with some stores having higher sales volumes than others.
Sales results are provided in a uniform fashion using data engineered fields that will be calculated in a complex data pipeline. Calculations include exceptions, aggregations, and scoring using external functions interfaced to scoring algorithms. The source data for aggregations has over 100M rows.
Every minute, the POS sends all sales transactions files to a cloud storage location with a naming convention that includes store numbers and timestamps to identify the set of transactions contained in the files. The files are typically less than 10MB in size.
How can the near real-time results be provided to the category managers? (Select TWO).
An Architect has chosen to separate their Snowflake Production and QA environments using two separate Snowflake accounts.
The QA account is intended to run and test changes on data and database objects before pushing those changes to the Production account. It is a requirement that all database objects and data in the QA account need to be an exact copy of the database objects, including privileges and data in the Production account on at least a nightly basis.
Which is the LEAST complex approach to use to populate the QA account with the Production account’s data and database objects on a nightly basis?
Is it possible for a data provider account with a Snowflake Business Critical edition to share data with an Enterprise edition data consumer account?
Two queries are run on the customer_address table:
create or replace TABLE CUSTOMER_ADDRESS ( CA_ADDRESS_SK NUMBER(38,0), CA_ADDRESS_ID VARCHAR(16), CA_STREET_NUMBER VARCHAR(IO) CA_STREET_NAME VARCHAR(60), CA_STREET_TYPE VARCHAR(15), CA_SUITE_NUMBER VARCHAR(10), CA_CITY VARCHAR(60), CA_COUNTY
VARCHAR(30), CA_STATE VARCHAR(2), CA_ZIP VARCHAR(10), CA_COUNTRY VARCHAR(20), CA_GMT_OFFSET NUMBER(5,2), CA_LOCATION_TYPE
VARCHAR(20) );
ALTER TABLE DEMO_DB.DEMO_SCH.CUSTOMER_ADDRESS ADD SEARCH OPTIMIZATION ON SUBSTRING(CA_ADDRESS_ID);
Which queries will benefit from the use of the search optimization service? (Select TWO).
A Developer is having a performance issue with a Snowflake query. The query receives up to 10 different values for one parameter and then performs an aggregation over the majority of a fact table. It then
joins against a smaller dimension table. This parameter value is selected by the different query users when they execute it during business hours. Both the fact and dimension tables are loaded with new data in an overnight import process.
On a Small or Medium-sized virtual warehouse, the query performs slowly. Performance is acceptable on a size Large or bigger warehouse. However, there is no budget to increase costs. The Developer
needs a recommendation that does not increase compute costs to run this query.
What should the Architect recommend?
A Data Engineer is designing a near real-time ingestion pipeline for a retail company to ingest event logs into Snowflake to derive insights. A Snowflake Architect is asked to define security best practices to configure access control privileges for the data load for auto-ingest to Snowpipe.
What are the MINIMUM object privileges required for the Snowpipe user to execute Snowpipe?
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.)
How do Snowflake databases that are created from shares differ from standard databases that are not created from shares? (Choose three.)
Which query will identify the specific days and virtual warehouses that would benefit from a multi-cluster warehouse to improve the performance of a particular workload?
A)
B)
C)
D)
Role A has the following permissions:
. USAGE on db1
. USAGE and CREATE VIEW on schemal in db1
. SELECT on tablel in schemal
Role B has the following permissions:
. USAGE on db2
. USAGE and CREATE VIEW on schema2 in db2
. SELECT on table2 in schema2
A user has Role A set as the primary role and Role B as a secondary role.
What command will fail for this user?

What is a characteristic of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) as used in Snowflake?
A data platform team creates two multi-cluster virtual warehouses with the AUTO_SUSPEND value set to NULL on one. and '0' on the other. What would be the execution behavior of these virtual warehouses?
