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?

A Snowflake customer is experiencing higher costs than anticipated while migrating their data warehouse workloads from on-premises to Snowflake. The migration workloads have been deployed on a single warehouse and are characterized by a large number of small INSERTs rather than bulk loading of large extracts. That single warehouse has been configured as a single cluster, 2XL because there are many parallel INSERTs that are scheduled during nightly loads.

How can the Administrator reduce the costs, while minimizing the overall load times, for migrating data warehouse history?

A.
There should be another 2XL warehouse deployed to handle a portion of the load queries.
Answers
A.
There should be another 2XL warehouse deployed to handle a portion of the load queries.
B.
The 2XL warehouse should be changed to 4XL to increase the number of threads available for parallel load queries.
Answers
B.
The 2XL warehouse should be changed to 4XL to increase the number of threads available for parallel load queries.
C.
The warehouse should be kept as a SMALL or XSMALL and configured as a multi-cluster warehouse to handle the parallel load queries.
Answers
C.
The warehouse should be kept as a SMALL or XSMALL and configured as a multi-cluster warehouse to handle the parallel load queries.
D.
The INSERTS should be converted to several tables to avoid contention on large tables that slows down query processing.
Answers
D.
The INSERTS should be converted to several tables to avoid contention on large tables that slows down query processing.
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

According to the Snowflake Warehouse Cost Optimization blog post, one of the strategies to reduce the cost of running a warehouse is to use a multi-cluster warehouse with auto-scaling enabled. This allows the warehouse to automatically adjust the number of clusters based on the concurrency demand and the queue size. A multi-cluster warehouse can also be configured with a minimum and maximum number of clusters, as well as a scaling policy to control the scaling behavior. This way, the warehouse can handle the parallel load queries efficiently without wasting resources or credits. The blog post also suggests using a smaller warehouse size, such as SMALL or XSMALL, for loading data, as it can perform better than a larger warehouse size for small INSERTs. Therefore, the best option to reduce the costs while minimizing the overall load times for migrating data warehouse history is to keep the warehouse as a SMALL or XSMALL and configure it as a multi-cluster warehouse to handle the parallel load queries. The other options are incorrect because:

* A. Deploying another 2XL warehouse to handle a portion of the load queries will not reduce the costs, but increase them. It will also introduce complexity and potential inconsistency in managing the data loading process across multiple warehouses.

* B. Changing the 2XL warehouse to 4XL will not reduce the costs, but increase them. It will also provide more compute resources than needed for small INSERTs, which are not CPU-intensive but I/O-intensive.

* D. Converting the INSERTs to several tables will not reduce the costs, but increase them. It will also create unnecessary data duplication and fragmentation, which will affect the query performance and data quality.
