A Developer is having a performance issue with a Snowflake query. The query receives up to 10 different values for one parameter and then performs an aggregation over the majority of a fact table. It then
joins against a smaller dimension table. This parameter value is selected by the different query users when they execute it during business hours. Both the fact and dimension tables are loaded with new data in an overnight import process.
On a Small or Medium-sized virtual warehouse, the query performs slowly. Performance is acceptable on a size Large or bigger warehouse. However, there is no budget to increase costs. The Developer
needs a recommendation that does not increase compute costs to run this query.
What should the Architect recommend?
A company is designing its serving layer for data that is in cloud storage. Multiple terabytes of the data will be used for reporting. Some data does not have a clear use case but could be useful for experimental analysis. This experimentation data changes frequently and is sometimes wiped out and replaced completely in a few days.
The company wants to centralize access control, provide a single point of connection for the end-users, and maintain data governance.
What solution meets these requirements while MINIMIZING costs, administrative effort, and development overhead?
Which Snowflake architecture recommendation needs multiple Snowflake accounts for implementation?
An Architect needs to design a solution for building environments for development, test, and pre-production, all located in a single Snowflake account. The environments should be based on production data.
Which solution would be MOST cost-effective and performant?
An Architect is implementing a CI/CD process. When attempting to clone a table from a production to a development environment, the cloning operation fails.
What could be causing this to happen?
