In general, the monthly billing for database replication is proportional to which variables? (Select TWO).
A Snowflake Administrator is investigating why a query is not re-using the persisted result cache. The Administrator found the two relevant queries from the SNOWFLAKE. ACCOUNT_USAGE. QUERY_HISTORY view: Why is the second query re-scanning micro-partitions instead of using the first query's persisted result cache?
A Snowflake account is configured with SCIM provisioning for user accounts and has bi-directional synchronization for user identities. An Administrator with access to SECURITYADMIN uses the Snowflake UI to create a user by issuing the following commands: use role USERADMIN; create or replace role DEVELOPER_ROLE; create user PTORRES PASSWORD = 'hello world!' MUST_CHANGE_PASSWORD = FALSE default_role = DEVELOPER_ROLE; The new user named PTORRES successfully logs in, but sees a default role of PUBLIC in the web UI. When attempted, the following command fails: use DEVELOPER_ROLE; Why does this command fail?
If the query matches the definition, will Snowflake always dynamically rewrite the query to use a materialized view?
A Snowflake Administrator created a role ROLE_MANAGED_ACCESS and a schema SCHEMA_MANAGED_ACCESS as follows: USE ROLE SECURITYADMIN; CREATE ROLE ROLE_MANAGED_ACCESS; GRANT ROLE ROLE_MANAGED_ACCESS TO ROLE SYSADMIN; GRANT USAGE ON WAREHOUSE COMPUTE_WH TO ROLE ROLE_MANAGED_ACCESS; GRANT ALL privileges ON DATABASE WORK TO ROLE ROLE_MANAGED_ACCESS; USE ROLE ROLE_MANAGED_ACCESS; CREATE SCHEMA SCHEMA_MANAGED_ACCESS WITH MANAGED ACCESS; USE ROLE SECURITYADMIN; GRANT SELECT, INSERT ON FUTURE TABLES IN SCHEMA SCHEMA MANAGED ACCESS to ROLE_MANAGED_ACCESS; The Administrator now wants to disable the managed access on the schema. How can this be accomplished?
What are characteristics of data replication in Snowflake? (Select THREE).
A Snowflake Administrator needs to set up Time Travel for a presentation area that includes facts and dimensions tables, and receives a lot of meaningless and erroneous loT data. Time Travel is being used as a component of the company's data quality process in which the ingestion pipeline should revert to a known quality data state if any anomalies are detected in the latest load. Data from the past 30 days may have to be retrieved because of latencies in the data acquisition process. According to best practices, how should these requirements be met? (Select TWO).
Which statement allows this user to access this Snowflake account from a specific IP address (192.168.1.100) while blocking their access from anywhere else?
What roles can be used to create network policies within Snowflake accounts? (Select THREE).
What is a characteristic of Snowflake's transaction locking and concurrency modeling?

Question 28 - ADA-C01 discussion

Report
Export

A retailer uses a TRANSACTIONS table (100M rows, 1.2 TB) that has been clustered by the STORE_ID column (varchar(50)). The vast majority of analyses on this table are grouped by STORE_ID to look at store performance.

There are 1000 stores operated by the retailer but most sales come from only 20 stores. The Administrator notes that most queries are currently experiencing poor pruning, ith large amounts of bytes processed by even simple queries.

Why is this occurring?

A.
The STORE_ID should be numeric.
Answers
A.
The STORE_ID should be numeric.
B.
The table is not big enough to take advantage of the clustering key.
Answers
B.
The table is not big enough to take advantage of the clustering key.
C.
Sales across stores are not uniformly distributed.
Answers
C.
Sales across stores are not uniformly distributed.
D.
The cardinality of the stores to transaction count ratio is too low to use the STORE_ID as a clustering key.
Answers
D.
The cardinality of the stores to transaction count ratio is too low to use the STORE_ID as a clustering key.
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

According to the Snowflake documentation1, clustering keys are most effective when the data is evenly distributed across the key values. If the data is skewed, such as in this case where most sales come from only 20 stores out of 1000, then the micro-partitions will not be well-clustered and the pruning will be poor. This means that more bytes will be scanned by queries, even if they filter by STORE_ID. Option A is incorrect because the data type of the clustering key does not affect the pruning. Option B is incorrect because the table is large enough to benefit from clustering, if the data was more balanced. Option D is incorrect because the cardinality of the clustering key is not relevant for pruning, as long as the key values are distinct.
