Question #5
True or False: Bulk unloading of data from Snowflake supports the use of a SELECT statement.
- ATrueMost Voted
- BFalse
Correct Answer:
A
A

Absolutely, bulk unloading in Snowflake indeed allows the use of SELECT statements. You can specify any SELECT query within the COPY INTO command to filter and export precisely the data segments you want directly from the database to an external storage location. This flexibility enhances data export processes, enabling efficient and tailored data handling and management. Quite handy, right?

Question #9
Credit Consumption by the Compute Layer (Virtual Warehouses) is based on: (Choose two.)
- ANumber of users
- BWarehouse sizeMost Voted
- CAmount of data processed
- D# of clusters for the WarehouseMost Voted
Correct Answer:
BC
BC

The credit consumption primarily stems from the warehouse size and the volume of data processed. The size factor relates directly to how large the configured resources are, which has a definite impact on the computation power and subsequently the credits used. Concurrently, the amount of data manipulated or queried within Snowflake also significantly elevates resource utilization, influencing credit consumption. This approach aligns with Snowflake's documentation and typical data warehousing usage patterns, rather than the number of clusters which would only affect costs if actually operating.
