Snowflake ARA-R01 - SnowPro Advanced: Architect Recertification Exam
An Architect needs to design a data unloading strategy for Snowflake, that will be used with the COPY INTO
Which configuration is valid?
When loading data into a table that captures the load time in a column with a default value of either CURRENT_TIME () or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP () what will occur?
An Architect is using SnowCD to investigate a connectivity issue.
Which system function will provide a list of endpoints that the network must be able to access to use a specific Snowflake account, leveraging private connectivity?
A user named USER_01 needs access to create a materialized view on a schema EDW. STG_SCHEMA. How can this access be provided?
An Architect has designed a data pipeline that Is receiving small CSV files from multiple sources. All of the files are landing in one location. Specific files are filtered for loading into Snowflake tables using the copy command. The loading performance is poor.
What changes can be made to Improve the data loading performance?
An Architect needs to improve the performance of reports that pull data from multiple Snowflake tables, join, and then aggregate the data. Users access the reports using several dashboards. There are performance issues on Monday mornings between 9:00am-11:00am when many users check the sales reports.
The size of the group has increased from 4 to 8 users. Waiting times to refresh the dashboards has increased significantly. Currently this workload is being served by a virtual warehouse with the following parameters:
AUTO-RESUME = TRUE AUTO_SUSPEND = 60 SIZE = Medium
What is the MOST cost-effective way to increase the availability of the reports?
A retail company has 2000+ stores spread across the country. Store Managers report that they are having trouble running key reports related to inventory management, sales targets, payroll, and staffing during business hours. The Managers report that performance is poor and time-outs occur frequently.
Currently all reports share the same Snowflake virtual warehouse.
How should this situation be addressed? (Select TWO).
Company A would like to share data in Snowflake with Company B. Company B is not on the same cloud platform as Company A.
What is required to allow data sharing between these two companies?
A large manufacturing company runs a dozen individual Snowflake accounts across its business divisions. The company wants to increase the level of data sharing to support supply chain optimizations and increase its purchasing leverage with multiple vendors.
The company’s Snowflake Architects need to design a solution that would allow the business divisions to decide what to share, while minimizing the level of effort spent on configuration and management. Most of the company divisions use Snowflake accounts in the same cloud deployments with a few exceptions for European-based divisions.
According to Snowflake recommended best practice, how should these requirements be met?
A Snowflake Architect is designing an application and tenancy strategy for an organization where strong legal isolation rules as well as multi-tenancy are requirements.
Which approach will meet these requirements if Role-Based Access Policies (RBAC) is a viable option for isolating tenants?
