Snowflake DEA-C01 Dumps Questions Answers

Snowflake uses the result cache to store the results of queries that have been executed recently. The result cache is maintained at the account level and is shared across all sessions and users. The result cache is invalidated when any changes are made to the tables or views referenced by the query. Snowflake also has a retention policy for the result cache, which determines how long the results are kept in the cache before they are purged. The default retention period for the result cache is 24 hours, but it can be changed at the account, user, or session level. However, there is a maximum retention period of 14 days for the result cache, which cannot be exceeded. Therefore, if the underlying data has not changed, Snowflake will use the persisted query results from the result cache for up to 14 days.

This option is the best way to improve the situation, as using a loop construct to run SQL queries for each customer is very inefficient and slow. Instead, the report should be rewritten to use a single SQL query that joins the customer and sales data tables and applies the query parameters as filters. This way, the report can leverage Snowflake’s parallel processing and optimization capabilities and reduce the network overhead and latency.

A stream is a Snowflake object that records the history of changes made to a table. A stream is associated with a specific table at the time of creation, and it cannot be altered to point to a different table later. Therefore, if the source table is renamed, the stream will become stale and will need to be re-created with the new table name. The other options are not correct because:

• TRANSACTIONS _STM will not keep working as expected, as it will lose track of the changes made to the renamed table.
• TRANSACTIONS _STM will not be automatically renamed TRANSACTIONS _RAW_STM, as streams do not inherit the name changes of their source tables.
• Reading from the transactions_stm stream will not succeed for some time after the expected STALE_TIME, as streams do not have a STALE_TIME property.
