The SQL commands that consume a stream and advance the stream offset are those that result in changes to the data, such as UPDATE and INSERT operations. Specifically, ‘UPDATE TABLE FROM STREAM’ and ‘INSERT INTO TABLE SELECT FROM STREAM’ will consume the stream and move the offset forward, reflecting the changes made to the data.

Serverless features in Snowflake are billed based on the time they are used, measured in minutes. The cost is calculated by multiplying the duration of the job by an automatic sizing determined by Snowflake, with a minimum billing increment of one minute. This means that even if a serverless feature is used for less than a minute, it will still be billed for the full minute.

 The billable compute time includes the time the warehouse is running queries plus the auto-suspend time after the last query if the warehouse is not manually suspended. In this scenario, the warehouse runs for 3 minutes, suspends after 10 minutes of inactivity, resumes for a 10-second query, and then is manually suspended. The total billable time is the sum of the initial 3 minutes, the 10 minutes of auto-suspend time, and the brief period for the 10-second query, which is rounded up to the next full minute due to Snowflake’s billing practices. References: [COF-C02] SnowPro Core Certification Exam Study Guide

Temporary and transient tables in Snowflake share several characteristics, notably, neither table type has a Fail-safe period. Fail-safe is a feature that provides additional data protection beyond the Time Travel period. However, this feature does not apply to temporary or transient tables. Additionally, for both types of tables, the data retention period effectively ends when the tables are dropped. This means that once these tables are deleted, their data is not recoverable, distinguishing them from permanent tables, which benefit from Snowflake's Time Travel and Fail-safe features.References: Snowflake Documentation on Table Types

Snowflake does not support traditional large object data types like BLOB (Binary Large Object) and CLOB (Character Large Object).

Recommended alternatives:

BINARY (C): Used for binary data like images or files.

VARCHAR (E): Used for large text-based data, such as documents or logs.
