According to the Snowflake Warehouse Cost Optimization blog post, one of the strategies to reduce the cost of running a warehouse is to use a multi-cluster warehouse with auto-scaling enabled. This allows the warehouse to automatically adjust the number of clusters based on the concurrency demand and the queue size. A multi-cluster warehouse can also be configured with a minimum and maximum number of clusters, as well as a scaling policy to control the scaling behavior. This way, the warehouse can handle the parallel load queries efficiently without wasting resources or credits. The blog post also suggests using a smaller warehouse size, such as SMALL or XSMALL, for loading data, as it can perform better than a larger warehouse size for small INSERTs. Therefore, the best option to reduce the costs while minimizing the overall load times for migrating data warehouse history is to keep the warehouse as a SMALL or XSMALL and configure it as a multi-cluster warehouse to handle the parallel load queries. The other options are incorrect because:

•A. Deploying another 2XL warehouse to handle a portion of the load queries will not reduce the costs, but increase them. It will also introduce complexity and potential inconsistency in managing the data loading process across multiple warehouses.

•B. Changing the 2XL warehouse to 4XL will not reduce the costs, but increase them. It will also provide more compute resources than needed for small INSERTs, which are not CPU-intensive but I/O-intensive.

•D. Converting the INSERTs to several tables will not reduce the costs, but increase them. It will also create unnecessary data duplication and fragmentation, which will affect the query performance and data quality.

To request and get data from a Data Exchange, the role in Account 123 must have the USAGE privilege on the Data Exchange object. This privilege allows the role to view the listings and request access to the data. According to the Snowflake documentation, “To view the listings in a data exchange, a role must have the USAGE privilege on the data exchange object. To request access to a listing, a role must have the USAGE privilege on the data exchange object and the IMPORT SHARE privilege on the account.” The other options are either incorrect or not sufficient to request and get data from a Data Exchange. Option A is incorrect, as the ACCOUNTADMIN role is not the only role that can request and get data, as long as other roles have the necessary privileges. Option C is incorrect, as the IMPORT SHARE and CREATE DATABASE privileges are not required to request and get data, but only to create a database from a share after the access is granted. Option D is incorrect, as the listing provider does not designate the authorized roles in Account 123, but only approves or denies the requests from Account 123.

According to the Snowflake documentation1, the ORGADMIN role is a special system role that is responsible for managing operations at the organization level, such as creating and viewing accounts, enabling database replication, and setting global account parameters. The ACCOUNTADMIN role is a system role that is responsible for managing operations at the account level, such as creating and managing users, roles, warehouses, databases, and shares. Therefore, the commands that can be performed by the ORGADMIN role but not the ACCOUNTADMIN role are:

•SHOW ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTS: This command lists all the accounts in the organization and their properties, such as region, edition, and status2. The ACCOUNTADMIN role can only show the current account and its properties using the SHOW ACCOUNTS command3.

•SELECT SYSTEM$GLOBAL_ACCOUNT_SET_PARAMETER: This function sets a global account parameter for an account in the organization, such as enabling account database replication4. The ACCOUNTADMIN role can only set local account parameters using the ALTER ACCOUNT command.

Option A is incorrect because the SHOW REGIONS command can be executed by any role, not just the ORGADMIN role. Option B is incorrect because the SHOW USERS command can be executed by the ACCOUNTADMIN role, as well as any role that has been granted the MONITOR privilege on the account. Option D is incorrect because the GRANT ROLE ORGADMIN TO USER command can be executed by the ACCOUNTADMIN role, as well as any role that has been granted the ORGADMIN role1.
