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

The supported file formats for unloading data from Snowflake include JSON, Parquet, and CSV.These formats are commonly used for their flexibility and compatibility with various data processing tools

The Snowflake cloud services layer is responsible for tasks such as authentication and access control, ensuring secure access to the platform, and metadata management, which involves organizing and maintaining information about the data stored in Snowflake56.

When publishing a Snowflake Data Marketplace listing into a remote region, it's important to note that while the listing is replicated into all selected regions automatically, the data itself is not. Therefore, the data must be replicated separately.Additionally, the user must have the ORGADMIN role in at least one account to manage the replication of accounts1.

For loading data into Snowflake via Snowpipe, the recommended compressed file size is between 100-250 MB.This size range is optimal for balancing the performance of parallel processing and minimizing the overhead associated with handling many small files2.
