Snowflake SnowPro Core Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 11

List of questions
Question 101

When is the result set cache no longer available? (Select TWO)
The result set cache in Snowflake is invalidated and no longer available when the underlying data of the query results has changed, ensuring that queries return the most current data.Additionally, the cache expires after 24 hours to maintain the efficiency and accuracy of data retrieval1.
Question 102

Which of the following describes external functions in Snowflake?
External functions in Snowflake are a special type of User-Defined Function (UDF) that call code executed outside of Snowflake, typically through a remote service.Unlike traditional UDFs, external functions do not contain SQL code within Snowflake; instead, they interact with external services to process data2.

Question 103

What are ways to create and manage data shares in Snowflake? (Select TWO)
Data shares in Snowflake can be created and managed through the Snowflake web interface, which provides a user-friendly graphical interface for various operations.Additionally, SQL commands can be used to perform these tasks programmatically, offering flexibility and automation capabilities123.
Question 104

A company's security audit requires generating a report listing all Snowflake logins (e.g.. date and user) within the last 90 days. Which of the following statements will return the required information?
To generate a report listing all Snowflake logins within the last 90 days, theACCOUNT_USAGE.LOGIN_HISTORYview should be used.This view provides information about login attempts, including successful and unsuccessful logins, and is suitable for security audits4.
Question 105

Which semi-structured file formats are supported when unloading data from a table? (Select TWO).
Semi-structured
JSON, Parquet
Snowflake supports unloading data in several semi-structured file formats, including Parquet and JSON.These formats allow for efficient storage and querying of semi-structured data, which can be loaded directly into Snowflake tables without requiring a predefined schema12.

Question 106

What is the purpose of an External Function?
The purpose of an External Function in Snowflake is to call code that executes outside of the Snowflake environment.This allows Snowflake to interact with external services and leverage functionalities that are not natively available within Snowflake, such as calling APIs or running custom code hosted on cloud services3.

Question 107

A user created a new worksheet within the Snowsight Ul and wants to share this with teammates
How can this worksheet be shared?
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.
Question 108

What is the purpose of multi-cluster virtual warehouses?
Multi-cluster virtual warehouses in Snowflake are designed to manage user and query concurrency needs.They allow for the allocation of additional clusters of compute resources, either statically or dynamically, to handle increased loads and reduce or eliminate the queuing of concurrent queries2.

Question 109

Which statements are true concerning Snowflake's underlying cloud infrastructure? (Select THREE),
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.

Question 110

Which snowflake objects will incur both storage and cloud compute charges? (Select TWO)
In Snowflake, both materialized views and transient tables will incur storage charges because they store data. They will also incur compute charges when queries are run against them, as compute resources are used to process the queries.
