 Tags in Snowflake allow users to track sensitive data for compliance, discovery, protection, and resource usage. They enable the categorization and tracking of data, supporting compliance with privacy regulations678. References: [COF-C02] SnowPro Core Certification Exam Study Guide

 In Snowflake, if a temporary table and a permanent table have the same name within the same schema, the temporary table takes precedence over the permanent table within the session where the temporary table was created4.

 The COPY INTO command in Snowflake can be configured to output data into a single file by setting the MAX_FILE_NUMBER option to 1. This option limits the number of files generated by the command, ensuring that only one file is created regardless of the amount of data being exported.

Secure data sharing in Snowflake allows users to share various objects between Snowflake accounts without physically copying the data, thus not consuming additional storage. Among the options provided, external tables can be shared through secure data sharing. External tables are used to query data directly from files in a stage without loading the data into Snowflake tables, making them suitable for sharing across different Snowflake accounts.

In Snowflake, Streams are the objects that track Data Manipulation Language (DML) changes made to tables, such as inserts, updates, and deletes. Streams record these changes along with metadata about each change, enabling actions to be taken using the changed data. This process is known as change data capture (CDC)2.

 Micro-partitions in Snowflake are immutable objects, which means once they are written, they cannot be modified. This immutability supports the use of Time Travel, allowing users to access historical data within a defined period. Additionally, micro-partitions can significantly reduce the amount of I/O from object storage to virtual warehouses. This is because Snowflake’s query optimizer can skip over micro-partitions that do not contain relevant data for a query, thus reducing the amount of data that needs to be scanned and transferred.

The primary responsibility of Snowflake’s virtual warehouses is to execute queries. Virtual warehouses are one of the key components of Snowflake’s architecture, providing the compute power required to perform data processing tasks such as running SQL queries, performing joins, aggregations, and other data manipulations.

When a cloned table is replicated to a secondary database in Snowflake, the following occurs:

C. The physical data is replicated: The actual data of the cloned table is physically replicated to the secondary database. This ensures that the secondary database has its own copy of the data, which can be used for read-only purposes or failover scenarios1.

E. Metadata pointers to cloned tables are replicated: Along with the physical data, the metadata pointers that refer to the cloned tables are also replicated. This metadata includes information about the structure of the table and any associated properties2.

It’s important to note that while the physical data and metadata are replicated, the secondary database is typically read-only and cannot be used for write operations. Additionally, while there may be additional storage costs associated with the secondary account, this is not a direct result of the replication process but rather a consequence of storing additional data.
