SnowPro Core Certification Questions part -2

Question 1: Correct
Which of the Snowflake shared view can be used to query the Snowflake Query History?
(Select 1)

QUERY_HISTORY view in INFORMATION_SCHEMA

QUERY_HISTORY_VIEW view in ACCOUNT_USAGE

QUERY_HISTORY view in ACCOUNT_USAGE

(Correct)

QUERY_HISTORY_VIEW view in INFORMATION_USAGE

Explanation
QUERY_HISTORY view in ACCOUNT_USAGE view can be used to query Snowflake
query history by various dimensions (time range, session, user, warehouse, etc.) within
the last 365 days (1 year).
Question 2: Correct
What is the minimum billing charge for provisioning compute resources?

1 second
 •

120 seconds

30 seconds

60 seconds

(Correct)

Explanation
The minimum billing charge for provisioning compute resources is 1 minute (i.e. 60
seconds). There is no benefit to stopping a warehouse before the first 60-second period
is over because the credits have already been billed for that period.
Question 3: Incorrect
You have a table t1 with a column j that gets populated by a sequence s1. s1 is defined
to start from 1 and with an increment of 1. create or replace sequence s1 start = 1
increment = 1 ; create or replace table t1 ( i int, j int default s1.nextval ); You inserted 3
records in table t1: insert into t1 values (1,s1.nextval), (2,s1.nextval), (3,s1.nextval);
After that insert statement, you altered the sequence s1 to set the increment to -4:
alter sequence s1 set increment = -4; You again inserted 2 records in table t1: insert
into t1 values (4,s1.nextval), (5,s1.nextval); What would be the result of the following
query? select j from t1 where i = 4;

•
 0

-1

(Incorrect)

(Correct)

Explanation
ALTER SEQUENCE command takes effect after the second use of the sequence after
executing the ALTER SEQUENCE command.

So, if you fetch row where i = 5, you will find j = 0 [row 4 value of j i.e., 4 + (-4) = 0]

Question 4:
Skipped
Which of these sampling method keywords are used to specify which method to use?
(Select 2)

BERNOULLI | BLOCK

•
 BERNOULLI | ROW

(Correct)

SYSTEM | ROW

SYSTEM | BLOCK

(Correct)

Explanation
BERNOULLI | ROW and SYSTEM | BLOCK are used to specify the sampling method in
SELECT query. BERNOULLI (or ROW): Includes each row with a <probability> of p/100.
Similar to flipping a weighted coin for each row. SYSTEM (or BLOCK): Includes each
block of rows with a <probability> of p/100. Similar to flipping a weighted coin for each
block of rows. This method does not support fixed-size sampling. Sampling method is
optional. If no method is specified, the default is BERNOULLI. Example : select * from t1
tablesample bernoulli (25); This query will return a sample of a table in which each row
has a 25% probability of being included in the sample
Question 5:
Skipped
Which function can be used in combination with COPY command to convert the rows
in a relational table to a single VARIANT column and unload the rows into a file?

COPY_CONSTRUCT

•
 OBJECT_CONSTRUCT

(Correct)

VARIANT_CONSTRUCT

UNLOAD_CONSTRUCT

Explanation
The OBJECT_CONSTRUCT function can be used in combination with the COPY
command to convert the rows in a relational table to a single VARIANT column and
unload the rows into a file.
Question 6:
Skipped
How much-uncompressed data does a micro-partition contain in Snowflake?

Between 5 MB to 50 MB

Between 1 GB to 10 GB

Between 50 MB to 500 MB

(Correct)
 •

Between 1 MB to 100 MB

Explanation
Each micro-partition contains between 50 MB and 500 MB of uncompressed data (Note
that the actual size in Snowflake is smaller because data is always stored
compressed.). Groups of rows in tables are mapped into individual micro-partitions,
organized in a columnar fashion. This size is between 50 MB and 500 MB, and the
structure allows for extremely granular pruning of very large tables, which can be
comprised of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of micro-partitions. It enables
extremely efficient DML and fine-grained pruning for faster queries.
Question 7:
Skipped
Snowflake data providers can share data from one database per share. Data from
multiple databases can not be shared with a share. (True/False)

FALSE

(Correct)

TRUE

Explanation
Snowflake data providers can share data that resides in different databases by using
secure views. A secure view can reference objects such as schemas, tables, and other
views from one or more databases, as long as these databases belong to the same
account.
Question 8:
Skipped
Which of these security features are supported in Snowflake? (Select all that apply)

Multi-Factor Authentication

(Correct)

Tri-Secret Secure Encryption

(Correct)

Network Policy

(Correct)

Role-Based Access Control

(Correct)

Explanation
Snowflake is a highly secured platform and provides multi-level security like Multi-
Factor Authentication (MFA), provision to set up Network policy to block access by
unwanted IPs, Single Sign On (SSO), Role-Based Access Control, and Tri Secret Secure,
and so on.
Tri-Secret Secure is the combination of a Snowflake-maintained key and a customer-
managed key in the cloud provider platform that hosts your Snowflake account to
create a composite master key to protect your Snowflake data.

Question 9:
Skipped
How many network policies can be activated for a user at a time?

(Correct)

100

16

31

99

Explanation
Only a single network policy can be activated for each user at a time; however, different
network policies can be activated for different users for granular control. Associating a
network policy with a user automatically removes the currently-associated network
policy (if any)
Question 10:
Skipped
Both non-materialized and materialized views can be defined as secure. (True / False)

TRUE

(Correct)

FALSE

Explanation
Yes, both non-materialized and materialized views can be defined as secure.

Question 15:
Skipped
Suppose we have a table t1. We drop the table t1 and then create a new table t1 again.
What will happen if we execute the UNDROP command to restore dropped t1 table
now?

The dropped table t1 will be restored with name t1

 •

The dropped table t1 will be restored with a new arbitrary name set by
Snowflake

UNDROP command will fail

(Correct)

Explanation
If an object with the same name already exists, UNDROP fails. We must rename the
existing object, which then enables us to restore the previous version of the object.
Question 16:
Skipped
Snowflake stores data into its

internal optimized, uncompressed, row format

internal optimized, uncompressed, columnar format

internal optimized, compressed, columnar format

(Correct)

•
 internal optimized, compressed, row format

What types of URLs are available to access files in cloud storage? (Select 3)

Signed URL

Pre-signed URL

(Correct)

File URL

(Correct)

Scoped URL

(Correct)

Descoped URL

Unstructured URL

Explanation
The following types of URLs are available to access files in cloud storage: Scoped
URL: Encoded URL that permits temporary access to a staged file without granting
privileges to the stage. The URL expires when the persisted query result period ends
(i.e., the results cache expires), which is currently 24 hours. File URL: URL that identifies
the database, schema, stage, and file path to a set of files. A role that has sufficient
privileges on the stage can access the files. Pre-signed URL: Simple HTTPS URL used
to access a file via a web browser. A file is temporarily accessible to users via this URL
using a pre-signed access token. The expiration time for the access token is
configurable.
Question 21:

Which methods can be used to check the status of a COPY INTO command? (Select 2)

Write a SQL query against the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.LOAD_HISTORY view.

(Correct)

Use the Query History tab in the Snowflake user interface.

(Correct)

Write a SQL query against the ACCOUNT_USAGE.LOAD_HISTORY view.

Use the resource monitor.

Explanation
The status of COPY INTO command can be checked from the Resource Monitors tab in
the Snowflake user interface, as well as by querying the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.LOAD_HISTORY view.
Question 23:
Skipped
During Warehouse provisioning, if any of the compute resources fail to provision, then
Snowflake kills the entire warehouse provisioning and tries to provision a new
warehouse of the same requested size. (True/False)

TRUE

FALSE

(Correct)

Explanation
Snowflake does not begin executing SQL statements submitted to a warehouse until all
of the compute resources for the warehouse are successfully provisioned unless any of
the resources fail to provision:

If any of the compute resources for the warehouse fail to provision during start-up,
Snowflake attempts to repair the failed resources. During the repair process, the
warehouse starts processing SQL statements once 50% or more of the requested
compute resources are successfully provisioned.

Question 24:
Skipped

What is the recommended compressed size of data files for optimal bulk data loads?

100-250 MB
 (Correct)

100-250 GB

10-50 GB

10-50 MB

Explanation
To optimize the number of parallel operations for a load, Snowflake recommends
aiming to produce data files roughly 100-250 MB (or larger) in size compressed. The
number of load operations that run in parallel cannot exceed the number of data files to
be loaded.

Question 29:
Skipped
Which of these functions helps generate the Pre-signed URL to access the
unstructured data file?

•
 GET_ABSOLUTE_PATH

GET_STAGE_LOCATION

GET_RELATIVE_PATH

GET_PRESIGNED_URL

(Correct)

BUILD_SCOPED_FILE_URL

BUILD_STAGE_FILE_URI

Explanation
GET_PRESIGNED_URL generates the pre-signed URL to a staged file using the stage
name and relative file path as inputs. Pre-signed URL: Simple HTTPS URL used to
access a file via a web browser. A file is temporarily accessible to users via this URL
using a pre-signed access token. The expiration time for the access token is
configurable.
Question 30:
Skipped
Which of the following is the correct hierarchy for the Snowflake objects?
 •

ORGANIZATION > ACCOUNT > DATABASE > SCHEMA > TABLE

(Correct)

ACCOUNT > ORGANIZATION > ROLE > USER > DATABASE > SCHEMA > TABLE

ORGANIZATION > ACCOUNT > DATABASE > SCHEMA > TABLE > STAGE

ORGANIZATION > ACCOUNT > ROLE > USER > DATABASE > SCHEMA > STAGE
> TABLE

Explanation
The top-most container is the customer organization. Securable objects such as tables,
views, functions, and stages are contained in a schema object, which are in turn
contained in a database. All databases for your Snowflake account are contained in the
account object. USER, ROLE, DATABASE, WAREHOUSE are at same level and contained
in a Snowflake Account Object.
Question 31:
Skipped
The snowflake data warehouse is not built on an existing database or “big data”
software platform like Hadoop.(True/False)

TRUE
 (Correct)

FALSE

Explanation
Snowflake is a 100% cloud-native data platform.
Question 32:
Skipped
Tasks require compute resources to execute code. Either Snowflake-managed or
User-managed compute models can be chosen for individual tasks. (True / False)

FALSE

TRUE

(Correct)

Explanation
True, Tasks require compute resources to execute SQL code. Either of the following
compute models can be chosen for individual tasks: Snowflake-managed (i.e.
serverless compute model), User-managed (i.e. virtual warehouse)
Question 33:
Skipped
UDF does not support SQL DDL / DML? (True/Fales)

•
 FALSE

TRUE

(Correct)

Explanation
UDF does not support SQL DDL / DML. That means you can select from a table, but you
can't create or modify tables inside of a UDF.
Question 34:
Skipped
The data retention period for a database, schema, or table can not be changed once
ACCOUNTADMIN sets it at the account level. (True/False)

TRUE

FALSE

(Correct)

Explanation
The data retention period for a database, schema, or table can be changed at any time.
DATA_RETENTION_TIME_IN_DAYS parameter can be used to explicitly override the
default when creating a database, schema, and individual table. For example: CREATE
TABLE t1 (c1 int) DATA_RETENTION_IN DAYS=90;
Question 35:
Skipped
A Pre-Signed URL is ideal for

custom applications that require access to unstructured data files

use in custom applications, providing unstructured data to other accounts via a

share

business intelligence applications or reporting tools that need to display the

unstructured file contents

(Correct)

None of these

Explanation
Pre-signed URL: Simple HTTPS URL used to access a file via a web browser. A file is
temporarily accessible to users via this URL using a pre-signed access token. The
expiration time for the access token is configurable. Ideal for business intelligence
applications or reporting tools that need to display unstructured file contents.

Scoped URL: Encoded URL that permits temporary access to a staged file without
granting privileges to the stage. The URL expires when the persisted query result period
ends (i.e., the results cache expires), which is currently 24 hours. Ideal for use in
custom applications, providing unstructured data to other accounts via a share, or for
downloading and ad hoc analysis of unstructured data via Snowsight.

File URL: URL that identifies the database, schema, stage, and file path to a set of files.
A role that has sufficient privileges on the stage can access the files. Ideal for custom
applications that require access to unstructured data files.

Question 36:
Skipped
David wants to load a JSON file using the COPY INTO <table> command. He found that
there are null values in the data for missing values and have no other special meaning.
What file format option would you recommend him to use with COPY INTO <table>
command to handle the JSON null values?

David should use STRIP_NULL_VALUES = FALSE

David should use STRIP_OUTER_ELEMENT = TRUE

David should use STRIP_NULL_VALUES = TRUE

(Correct)

David should use STRIP_OUTER_ELEMENT = FALSE

 •

David should use REPLACE_INVALID_CHARACTERS = TRUE

Explanation
In a VARIANT column, NULL values are stored as a string containing the word “null,” not
the SQL NULL value. If the “null” values in your JSON documents indicate missing
values and have no other special meaning, you should recommend setting the file
format option STRIP_NULL_VALUES to TRUE for the COPY INTO <table> command
when loading the JSON files. Retaining the “null” values often wastes storage and
slows query processing.
Question 37:
Skipped
Which of these configurations will set up a warehouse in maximized mode?

Minimum Clusters = 9 and Maximum Clusters = 10

Minimum Clusters = 1 and Maximum Clusters = 10

Minimum Clusters = 6 and Maximum Clusters = 6

(Correct)

Minimum Clusters = 1 and Maximum Clusters = 1

Explanation
Maximized mode is enabled by specifying the same value for both the maximum and a
minimum number of clusters (note that the specified value must be larger than 1). In
this mode, when the warehouse is started, Snowflake starts all the clusters so that
maximum resources are available while the warehouse is running. This mode is
effective for statically controlling the available compute resources, particularly if you
have large numbers of concurrent user sessions and/or queries and the numbers do not
fluctuate significantly.
Question 38:
Skipped
Which of these SQL Queries can be answered completely by Metadata? (Select 3)

COUNT

(Correct)

None of these

MIN, MAX (integers and dates)

(Correct)

AVG

SHOW Commands
 (Correct)

Explanation
SHOW Commands, MIN, MAX (integers and dates), and COUNT SQL queries take
advantage of the Metadata cache and do not require the virtual warehouse, but you
still have some cloud service charges.
Question 39:
Skipped
What is the maximum data retention period for permanent databases, schemas, and
tables for Snowflake Enterprise Edition (and higher)?

30 days

90 days

(Correct)

1 day

0 days

Explanation
For Snowflake Enterprise Edition (and higher):
• For permanent databases, schemas, and tables, the retention period can be set
to any value from 0 up to 90 days.
 • For transient databases, schemas, and tables, the retention period can be set to
0 (or unset back to the default of 1 day). The same is also true for temporary
tables.

Question 40:

Question 44:
Skipped
Suppose we resize a warehouse to a larger size while it is executing SQL statements.
In that case, the already running SQL statements will finish faster. (True / False)

FALSE

(Correct)

TRUE
Explanation
Resizing a warehouse doesn’t have any impact on statements that are currently being
executed by the warehouse. When resizing to a larger size, the new compute resources,
once fully provisioned, are used only to execute statements that are already in the
warehouse queue, as well as all future statements submitted to the warehouse.
Question 45:
Skipped

OBJECT and ARRAY.
Question 51:
Skipped
The BI group is complaining about their queries taking too long to run. Checking the
virtual warehouse information shows that the queued time is pretty high. What is the
best way to fix this issue?

Increase the size of the virtual warehouse

Determine which users have the high priority queries and set the other users

Set the STATEMENT_QUEUED_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS parameter to a low value

to cancel those queries if they get in the queue
 •

Increase the virtual warehouse MAX_CLUSTER_COUNT property

(Correct)

Provide a virtual warehouse for every user in the group

Explanation
Queuing can be solved by SCALE-OUT (provision new clusters), i.e., increasing
MAX_CLUSTER_COUNT helps in additional cluster provisioning to handle the concurrent
workloads.
Question 52:
Skipped
Cloning a table replicates the source table's structure, data, load history, and certain
other properties (e.g., STAGE FILE FORMAT). (True/False)

TRUE

FALSE

(Correct)

Explanation
Cloning a table replicates the source table's structure, data, and certain other properties
(e.g., STAGE FILE FORMAT). A cloned table does not include the load history of the
source table. One consequence is that data files loaded into a source table can be
loaded again into its clones.
Question 53:
Skipped
How can you view the data storage across your entire Snowflake account? (Select 2)

Using Snowsight: Select Admin > Usage > Storage

(Correct)

Using Snowsight: Select Data > Usage > Storage

How can a directory table metadata be refreshed automatically and efficiently to
synchronize the metadata with the latest associated files in the external stage and
path?

Using Cloud event notification service

(Correct)

It is a manual process and cant be automatically refreshed

Using both Tasks and Stream

Using Stream

Using Tasks

Explanation
The metadata for a directory table can be refreshed automatically using the event
notification service for your cloud storage service. The refresh operation synchronizes
the metadata with the latest set of associated files in the external stage and path,
i.e.:
• New files in the path are added to the table metadata.
• Changes to files in the path are updated in the table metadata.
• Files no longer in the path are removed from the table metadata.

What is a key benefit of scaling up a warehouse?

Scaling up improves concurrency.

Scaling up improves performance.

(Correct)

Explanation
Resizing a warehouse generally improves query performance, particularly for larger,
more complex queries. It can also help reduce the queuing that occurs if a warehouse
does not have enough compute resources to process all the queries that are submitted
concurrently. Note that warehouse resizing is not intended for handling concurrency
issues; instead, use additional warehouses to handle the workload or use a multi-cluster
warehouse.

What will happen if you add 0.0.0.0/0 to BLOCKED_IP_LIST and your IP address to
ALLOWED_IP_LIST of a Network policy?

You will be able to access the Snowflake account from your IP address
 •

You will not be able to access the Snowflake account from your IP address.

(Correct)

Explanation
If you provide both Allowed IP Addresses and Blocked IP Addresses, Snowflake
applies the Blocked List first. This would block your own access. Additionally, in order
to block all IP addresses except a select list, you only need to add IP addresses to
ALLOWED_IP_LIST. Snowflake automatically blocks all IP addresses not included in the
allowed list.

The view’s base table does not change frequently.

(Correct)

Query results contain results that require significant processing.

 (Correct)

Query results contain a small number of rows and/or columns relative to the
base table (the table on which the view is defined).

(Correct)

Explanation
Materialized views are advantageous when:

• Query results contain a small number of rows and/or columns relative to the
base table (the table on which the view is defined).

• Query results contain results that require significant processing, including

• Analysis of semi-structured data.
• Aggregates that take a long time to calculate.

• The query is on an external table (i.e., data sets stored in files in an external
stage), which might perform slower than querying native database tables.

• The view’s base table does not change frequently.

Snowflake architecture is
 •

Hybrid of Shared-disk and Shared-nothing database architectures

(Correct)

Shared-disk architecture

None of these

Shared-nothing architecture

Explanation
Snowflake’s architecture is a hybrid of traditional shared-disk and shared-nothing
database architectures. Like shared-disk architectures, Snowflake uses a central data
repository for persisted data accessible from all compute nodes in the platform. But
similar to shared-nothing architectures, Snowflake processes queries using MPP
(massively parallel processing) compute clusters where each node in the cluster stores
a portion of the entire data set locally. This approach offers the data management
simplicity of a shared-disk architecture but with the performance and scale-out benefits
of a shared-nothing architecture. It is also termed as Multi-Cluster Shared Data
Architecture.

While transforming Semi-structure data, what argument would you need to set with
FLATTEN function to omit the output of the input rows that cannot be expanded, either
because they cannot be accessed in the path or because they have zero fields or
entries?

MODE => OBJECT

RECURSIVE => FALSE

OUTER => FALSE

(Correct)
 •

OUTER => TRUE

RECURSIVE => TRUE

Explanation
The OUTER => FALSE argument with FLATTEN omits the output of the input rows that
cannot be expanded, either because they cannot be accessed in the path or because
they have zero fields or entries. The OUTER => TRUE argument with FLATTEN
generates exactly one row for zero-row expansions (with NULL in the KEY, INDEX, and
VALUE columns).

RECURSIVE is used to instruct if only the element referenced by PATH is expanded or

expansion is performed for all sub-elements recursively MODE Specifies whether only
objects, arrays, or both should be flattened.

Question 87:
Skipped
UDF runs with either the caller’s or the owner’s rights. (True / False)

TRUE

FALSE

(Correct)
Explanation
UDF only runs as the function owner. A stored procedure runs with either the caller’s
rights or the owner’s rights. It cannot run with both at the same time. A caller’s rights
stored procedure runs with the privileges of the caller. The primary advantage of a
caller’s rights stored procedure is that it can access information about that caller or
about the caller’s current session. For example, a caller’s rights stored procedure can
read the caller’s session variables and use them in a query.

An owner’s rights stored procedure runs mostly with the privileges of the stored
procedure’s owner. The primary advantage of an owner’s rights stored procedure is that
the owner can delegate specific administrative tasks, such as cleaning up old data, to
another role without granting that role more general privileges, such as privileges to
delete all data from a specific table.

At the time that the stored procedure is created, the creator specifies whether the
procedure runs with the owner’s rights or the caller’s rights. The default is owner’s
rights.

Which features of Snowflake provide Column-level security? (Select 2)

External Tokenization

(Correct)

Internal Tokenization

•
 Dynamic Data Masking

(Correct)

Column Masking

Explanation
Dynamic Data Masking is a Column-level Security feature that uses masking policies to
selectively mask plain-text data in table and view columns at query time.

External Tokenization enables accounts to tokenize data before loading it into

Snowflake and detokenize the data at query runtime. Tokenization is the process of
removing sensitive data by replacing it with an undecipherable token. External
Tokenization makes use of masking policies with external functions.

What is the best practice after creating a custom role in a Snowflake account?

Grant ownership of the role to itself so a member of the role can control access
to the role.

Grant PUBLIC to the role so all database objects owned by PUBLIC will be
available to the new role.

Grant the role to the USERADMIN role so users can be added to the role.

Grant the custom role to the SYSADMIN role so administrators can manage all
objects in the account.
 (Correct)

Explanation
The custom role gets mainly created for specific access to specific objects. As per best
practice, grant ownership to SYSADMIN or a child role under SYSADMIN so that
SYSADMIN can control access to the objects.

Which of these stages can not be dropped or altered? (Select 2)

•
 Named Stage

User Stage

(Correct)

Table Stage

(Correct)

Explanation
User Stage: User stages cannot be altered or dropped. A user stage is allocated to
each user for storing files. This stage type is designed to store staged and managed
files by a single user but can be loaded into multiple tables.

Table Stage: Table stages cannot be altered or dropped. A table stage is available for
each table created in Snowflake. This stage type is designed to store staged and
managed files by one or more users but only loaded into a single table. Note that a table
stage is not a separate database object but an implicit stage tied to the table itself. A
table stage has no grantable privileges of its own.

Named Stage: A named internal stage is a database object created in a schema. This
stage type can store files staged and managed by one or more users and loaded into
one or more tables. Because named stages are database objects, the ability to create,
modify, use, or drop them can be controlled using security access control privileges.

A stored procedure can run both the caller’s and the owner’s rights simultaneously.
(TRUE / FALSE)

TRUE

FALSE

(Correct)

Explanation
A stored procedure runs with either the caller’s rights or the owner’s rights. It cannot
run with both at the same time. A caller’s rights stored procedure runs with the
privileges of the caller. The primary advantage of a caller’s rights stored procedure is
that it can access information about that caller or about the caller’s current session. For
example, a caller’s rights stored procedure can read the caller’s session variables and
use them in a query. An owner’s rights stored procedure runs mostly with the privileges
of the stored procedure’s owner. The primary advantage of an owner’s rights stored
procedure is that the owner can delegate specific administrative tasks, such as cleaning
up old data, to another role without granting that role more general privileges, such as
privileges to delete all data from a specific table. At the time that the stored procedure
