NO.41 A company has many users in the role ANALYST who routinely query Snowflake through a reporting tool.
The Administrator has noticed that the ANALYST users keep two
small clusters busy all of the time, and occasionally they need three or four clusters of that size.
Based on this scenario, how should the Administrator set up a virtual warehouse to MOST efficiently support this group of users?

Create a multi-cluster warehouse with MIN_CLUSTERS set to 1. Give MANAGE privileges to the ANALYST role so this group can start and stop the warehouse, and increase the number of clusters as needed.

Create a multi-cluster warehouse with MIN_CLUSTERS set to 2. Set the warehouse to auto-resume and auto-suspend, and give USAGE privileges to the ANALYST role. Allow the warehouse to auto-scale.

Create a standard X-Large warehouse, which is equivalent to four small clusters. Set the warehouse to auto-resume and auto-suspend, and give USAGE privileges to the ANALYST role.

Create four virtual warehouses (sized Small through XL) and set them to auto-suspend and auto-resume.Have users in the ANALYST role select the appropriate warehouse based on how many queries are being run.

NO.42 An Administrator receives data from a Snowflake partner. The partner is sharing a dataset that contains multiple secure views. The Administrator would like to configure the data so that only certain roles can see certain secure views.
How can this be accomplished?

Apply RBAC directly onto the partner’s shared secure views.

Individually grant imported privileges onto the schema in the share.

Clone the data and insert it into a company-owned share and apply the desired RBAC on the new tables.

Create views over the incoming shared database and apply the desired RBAC onto these views.

NO.43 How should an Administrator configure a Snowflake account to use AWS PrivateLink?

Create CNAME records in the DNS.

Contact Snowflake Support.

Block public access to Snowflake.

Use SnowCD to evaluate the network connection.

NO.44 MY_TABLE is a table that has not been updated or modified for several days. On 01 January 2021 at 07:01, a user executed a query to update this table. The query ID is
‘8e5d0ca9-005e-44e6-b858-a8f5b37c5726’. It is now 07:30 on the same day.
Which queries will allow the user to view the historical data that was in the table before this query was executed? (Select THREE).

SELECT * FROM my table WITH TIME_TRAVEL (OFFSET => -60*30);

SELECT * FROM my_table AT (TIMESTAMP => ‘2021-01-01 07:00:00’ :: timestamp);

SELECT * FROM TIME_TRAVEL (‘MY_TABLE’, 2021-01-01 07:00:00);

SELECT * FROM my table PRIOR TO STATEMENT ‘8e5d0ca9-005e-44e6-b858-a8f5b37c5726’;

SELECT * FROM my_table AT (OFFSET => -60*30);

SELECT * FROM my_table BEFORE (STATEMENT => ‘8e5d0ca9-005e-44e6-b858-a8f5b37c5726’);

According to the AT | BEFORE documentation, the AT or BEFORE clause is used for Snowflake Time Travel, which allows you to query historical data from a table based on a specific point in the past. The clause can use one of the following parameters to pinpoint the exact historical data you wish to access:
* TIMESTAMP: Specifies an exact date and time to use for Time Travel.
* OFFSET: Specifies the difference in seconds from the current time to use for Time Travel.
* STATEMENT: Specifies the query ID of a statement to use as the reference point for Time Travel.
Therefore, the queries that will allow the user to view the historical data that was in the table before the query was executed are:
* B. SELECT * FROM my_table AT (TIMESTAMP => ‘2021-01-01 07:00:00’ :: timestamp); This query uses the TIMESTAMP parameter to specify a point in time that is before the query execution time of 07:01.
* D. SELECT * FROM my table PRIOR TO STATEMENT ‘8e5d0ca9-005e-44e6-b858-a8f5b37c5726’; This query uses the PRIOR TO STATEMENT keyword and the STATEMENT parameter to specify a point in time that is immediately preceding the query execution time of 07:01.
* F. SELECT * FROM my_table BEFORE (STATEMENT => ‘8e5d0ca9-005e-44e6-b858-a8f5b37c5726’); This query uses the BEFORE keyword and the STATEMENT parameter to specify a point in time that is immediately preceding the query execution time of 07:01.
The other queries are incorrect because:
* A. SELECT * FROM my table WITH TIME_TRAVEL (OFFSET => -60*30); This query uses the OFFSET parameter to specify a point in time that is 30 minutes before the current time, which is 07:30. This is after the query execution time of 07:01, so it will not show the historical data before the query was executed.
* C. SELECT * FROM TIME_TRAVEL (‘MY_TABLE’, 2021-01-01 07:00:00); This query is not valid syntax for Time Travel. The TIME_TRAVEL function does not exist in Snowflake. The correct syntax is to use the AT or BEFORE clause after the table name in the FROM clause.
* E. SELECT * FROM my_table AT (OFFSET => -60*30); This query uses the AT keyword and the OFFSET parameter to specify a point in time that is 30 minutes before the current time, which is 07:30. This is equal to the query execution time of 07:01, so it will not show the historical data before the query was executed. The AT keyword specifies that the request is inclusive of any changes made by a statement or transaction with timestamp equal to the specified parameter. To exclude the changes made by the query, the BEFORE keyword should be used instead.

NO.45 The ACCOUNTADMIN of Account 123 works with Snowflake Support to set up a Data Exchange. After the exchange is populated with listings from other Snowflake accounts, what roles in Account 123 are allowed to request and get data?

Only the ACCOUNTADMIN role, and no other roles

Any role with USAGE privilege on the Data Exchange

Any role with IMPORT SHARE and CREATE DATABASE privileges

Any role that the listing provider has designated as authorized

NO.46 The following SQL command was executed:
Use role SECURITYADMIN;
Grant ownership
On future tables
In schema PROD. WORKING
To role PROD_WORKING_OWNER;
Grant role PROD_WORKING_OWNER to role SYSADMIN;
Use role ACCOUNTADMIN;
Create table PROD.WORKING.XYZ (value number) ;
Which role(s) can alter or drop table XYZ?

Because ACCOUNTADMIN created the table, only the ACCOUNTADMIN role can alter or drop table XYZ.

SECURITYADMIN, SYSADMIN, and ACCOUNTADMIN can alter or drop table XYZ.

PROD_WORKING_OWNER, ACCOUNTADMIN, and SYSADMIN can alter or drop table XYZ.

Only the PROD_WORKING_OWNER role can alter or drop table XYZ.

NO.47 Which tasks can be performed by the ORGADMIN role? (Select THREE).

Create one or more accounts in the organization.

View a list of all regions enabled for the organization.

Create secure views on application tables within the organization.

View usage information for all accounts in the organization.

Perform zero-copy cloning on account data.

Create a reader account to share data with another organization.

NO.48 A Snowflake account is configured with SCIM provisioning for user accounts and has bi-directional synchronization for user identities. An Administrator with access to SECURITYADMIN uses the Snowflake UI to create a user by issuing the following commands:
use role USERADMIN;
create or replace role DEVELOPER_ROLE;
create user PTORRES PASSWORD = ‘hello world!’ MUST_CHANGE_PASSWORD = FALSE default_role = DEVELOPER_ROLE; The new user named PTORRES successfully logs in, but sees a default role of PUBLIC in the web UI. When attempted, the following command fails:
use DEVELOPER_ROLE;
Why does this command fail?

The DEVELOPER_ROLE needs to be granted to SYSADMIN before user PTORRES will be able to use the role.

The new role can only take effect after USERADMIN has logged out.

USERADMIN needs to explicitly grant the DEVELOPER_ROLE to the new USER.

The new role will only take effect once the identity provider has synchronized by way of SCIM with the Snowflake account.

NO.49 What are characteristics of Dynamic Data Masking? (Select TWO).

A masking policy that is currently set on a table can be dropped.

A single masking policy can be applied to columns in different tables.

A masking policy can be applied to the VALUE column of an external table.

The role that creates the masking policy will always see unmasked data in query results.

A single masking policy can be applied to columns with different data types.

NO.50 .
Company A uses Snowflake to manage audio files of call recordings. Company A hired Company B, who also uses Snowflake, to transcribe the audio files for further analysis.
Company A’s Administrator created a share.
What object should be added to the share to allow Company B access to the files?

A secure view with a column for file URLs.

A secure view with a column for pre-signed URLs.

A secure view with a column for METADATA$FILENAME.

A secure view with a column for the stage name and a column for the file path.

NO.51 Review the output of the SHOW statement below which displays the current grants on the table DB1. S1. T1:

This statement is executed:
USE ROLE ACCOUNTADMIN;
DROP ROLE A;
What will occur?

The table object DB1. S1. T1 will be dropped.

The OWNERSHIP privilege on table DB1. S1. T1 will be transferred to the ACCOUNTADMIN role.

The SELECT privilege on table DB1. S1. T1 to role B will be shown as GRANTED_BY the role ACCOUNTADMIN.

The SELECT privileges for roles B and C will remain.

NO.52 A Snowflake Administrator created a role ROLE_MANAGED_ACCESS and a schema SCHEMA_MANAGED_ACCESS as follows:
USE ROLE SECURITYADMIN;
CREATE ROLE ROLE_MANAGED_ACCESS;
GRANT ROLE ROLE_MANAGED_ACCESS TO ROLE SYSADMIN;
GRANT USAGE ON WAREHOUSE COMPUTE_WH TO ROLE ROLE_MANAGED_ACCESS;
GRANT ALL privileges ON DATABASE WORK TO ROLE ROLE_MANAGED_ACCESS;
USE ROLE ROLE_MANAGED_ACCESS;
CREATE SCHEMA SCHEMA_MANAGED_ACCESS WITH MANAGED ACCESS;
USE ROLE SECURITYADMIN;
GRANT SELECT, INSERT ON FUTURE TABLES IN SCHEMA SCHEMA MANAGED ACCESS to ROLE_MANAGED_ACCESS; The Administrator now wants to disable the managed access on the schema.
How can this be accomplished?

ALTER SCHEMA SCHEMA MANAGED ACCESS DISABLE MANAGED ACCESS;

USE ROLE ROLE MANAGED_ACCESS;
DROP SCHEMA WORK. SCHEMA_MANAGED_ACCESS;
CREATE SCHEMA SCHEMA_MANAGED_ACCESS;
Then recreate all needed objects.

REVOKE SELECT, INSERT ON FUTURE TABLES IN SCHEMA SCHEMA_MANAGED_ACCESS FROM ROLE_MANAGED_ACCESS; ALTER SCHEMA SCHEMA MANAGED ACCESS DISABLE MANAGED ACCESS;

USE ROLE ROLE_MANAGED_ACCESS;
DROP SCHEMA WORK. SCHEMA MANAGED_ACCESS;
CREATE SCHEMA SCHEMA_MANAGED_ACCESS WITHOUT MANAGED ACCESS;
Then recreate all needed objects.

NO.53 A team is provisioning new lower environments from the production database using cloning. All production objects and references reside in the database, and do not have external references.
What set of object references needs to be re-pointed before granting access for usage?

Sequences, views, and secure views

Sequences, views, secure views, and materialized views

Sequences, storage integrations, views, secure views, and materialized views

There are no object references that need to be re-pointed

NO.54 A user has enrolled in Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) for connecting to Snowflake. The user informs the Snowflake Administrator that they lost their mobile phone the previous evening.
Which step should the Administrator take to allow the user to log in to the system, without revoking their MFA enrollment?

Alter the user and set MINS TO BYPASS MFA to a value that will disable MFA long enough for the user to log in.

Alter the user and set DISABLE_MFA to true, which will suspend the MFA requirement for 24 hours.

Instruct the user to connect to Snowflake using SnowSQL, which does not support MFA authentication.

Instruct the user to append the normal URL with /?mode=mfa_bypass&code= to log on.

NO.55 An Administrator has a user who needs to be able to suspend and resume a task based on the current virtual warehouse load, but this user should not be able to modify the task or start a new run.
What privileges should be granted to the user to meet these requirements? (Select TWO).

EXECUTE TASK on the task

OWNERSHIP on the task

OPERATE on the task

USAGE on the database and schema containing the task

OWNERSHIP on the database and schema containing the task

NO.56 A team is provisioning new lower environments from the production database using cloning. All production objects and references reside in the database, and do not have external references.
What set of object references needs to be re-pointed before granting access for usage?

Sequences, views, and secure views

Sequences, views, secure views, and materialized views

Sequences, storage integrations, views, secure views, and materialized views

There are no object references that need to be re-pointed

NO.57 An Administrator loads data into a staging table every day. Once loaded, users from several different departments perform transformations on the data and load it into different production tables.
How should the staging table be created and used to MINIMIZE storage costs and MAXIMIZE performance?

Create it as an external table, which will not incur Time Travel costs.

Create it as a transient table with a retention time of 0 days.

Create it as a temporary table with a retention time of 0 days.

Create it as a permanent table with a retention time of 0 days.

NO.58 A company has many users in the role ANALYST who routinely query Snowflake through a reporting tool. The Administrator has noticed that the ANALYST users keep two small clusters busy all of the time, and occasionally they need three or four clusters of that size.
Based on this scenario, how should the Administrator set up a virtual warehouse to MOST efficiently support this group of users?

Create a multi-cluster warehouse with MIN_CLUSTERS set to 1. Give MANAGE privileges to the ANALYST role so this group can start and stop the warehouse, and increase the number of clusters as needed.

Create a multi-cluster warehouse with MIN_CLUSTERS set to 2. Set the warehouse to auto-resume and auto-suspend, and give USAGE privileges to the ANALYST role. Allow the warehouse to auto-scale.

Create a standard X-Large warehouse, which is equivalent to four small clusters. Set the warehouse to auto-resume and auto-suspend, and give USAGE privileges to the ANALYST role.

Create four virtual warehouses (sized Small through XL) and set them to auto-suspend and auto-resume. Have users in the ANALYST role select the appropriate warehouse based on how many queries are being run.

NO.59 What access control policy will be put into place when future grants are assigned to both database and schema objects?

Database privileges will take precedence over schema privileges.

Schema privileges will take precedence over database privileges.

An access policy combining both the database object and the schema object will be used, with the most permissive policy taking precedence.

An access policy combining both the database object and the schema object will be used, with the most restrictive policy taking precedence.

NO.60 A data provider wants to share data from multiple databases with a data consumer account.
How can this be accomplished?

The data provider needs to create a secure view and grant the USAGE privilege on each database referenced by the secure view.

The data provider needs to create a secure view and grant the REFERENCE_USAGE privilege on each database referenced by the secure view.

The data provider needs to create a secure view and grant the REFERENCE_USAGE privilege to a database role to include objects from multiple databases in a share

The data provider needs to create a secure view and must grant the REFERENCE_USAGE privilege on the database where the secure view is created.

NO.61 A company has set up a new Snowflake account. An Identity Provider (IdP) has been configured for both Single Sign-On (SSO) and SCIM provisioning.
What maintenance is required to ensure that the SCIM provisioning process continues to operate without errors?

The IdP service account requires a new RSA key pair to be generated every six months.

The Administrator must issue a POST RENEW call to the REST API at least once every six months.

The OAuth Bearer Tokens have a lifespan of six months and must be regenerated prior to expiration.

The IdP Administrator must issue a REFRESH transaction at least once every six months to synchronize all users and roles.

NO.62 A Snowflake Administrator has a multi-cluster virtual warehouse and is using the Snowflake Business Critical edition. The minimum number of clusters is set to 2 and the maximum number of clusters is set to 10. This configuration works well for the standard workload, rarely exceeding 5 running clusters. However, once a month the Administrator notes that there are a few complex long-running queries that are causing increased queue time and the warehouse reaches its maximum limit at 10 clusters.
Which solutions will address the issues happening once a month? (Select TWO).

Use a task to increase the cluster size for the time period that the more complex queries are running and another task to reduce the size of the cluster once the complex queries complete.

Have the group running the complex monthly queries use a separate appropriately-sized warehouse to support their workload.

Increase the multi-cluster maximum to 20 or more clusters.

Examine the complex queries and determine if they can be made more efficient using clustering keys or materialized views.

Increase the minimum number of clusters started in the multi-cluster configuration to 5.

According to the Snowflake documentation1, a multi-cluster warehouse is a virtual warehouse that consists of multiple clusters of compute resources that can scale up or down automatically to handle the concurrency and performance needs of the queries submitted to the warehouse. A multi-cluster warehouse has a minimum and maximum number of clusters that can be specified by the administrator. Option A is a possible solution to address the issues happening once a month, as it allows the administrator to use a task to increase the cluster size for the time period that the more complex queries are running and another task to reduce the size of the cluster once the complex queries complete. This way, the warehouse can have more resources available to handle the complex queries without reaching the maximum limit of 10 clusters, and then return to the normal cluster size to save costs. Option B is another possible solution to address the issues happening once a month, as it allows the administrator to have the group running the complex monthly queries use a separate appropriately-sized warehouse to support their workload. This way, the warehouse can isolate the complex queries from the standard workload and avoid queue time and resource contention. Option C is not a recommended solution to address the issues happening once a month, as it would increase the costs and complexity of managing the multi-cluster warehouse, and may not solve the underlying problem of inefficient queries. Option D is a good practice to improve the performance of the queries, but it is not a direct solution to address the issues happening once a month, as it requires analyzing and optimizing the complex queries using clustering keys or materialized views, which may not be feasible or effective in all cases. Option E is not a recommended solution to address the issues happening once a month, as it would increase the costs and waste resources by starting more clusters than needed for the standard workload.

NO.63 A Snowflake Administrator wants to create a virtual warehouse that supports several dashboards, issuing various queries on the same database.
For this warehouse, why should the Administrator consider setting AUTO_SUSPEND to 0 or NULL?

To keep the query result cache warm for good performance on repeated queries

To save costs by running the warehouse as little as possible

To keep the data cache warm to support good performance of similar queries

To save costs on warehouse shutdowns and startups for different queries

NO.64 What roles or security privileges will allow a consumer account to request and get data from the Data Exchange? (Select TWO).

SYSADMIN

SECURITYADMIN

ACCOUNTADMIN
