ADA-C01 Exam Dumps : SnowPro Advanced Administrator

According to the Snowflake documentation, when a database or schema is cloned, the clone inherits all granted privileges on the clones of all child objects contained in the source object, such as tables and views. However, the clone of the container itself does not inherit the privileges granted on the source container. Therefore, the ANALYST role will have SELECT privilege on all tables and views in DatabaseA_clone.Schema1, but not USAGE privilege on the database or schema. The type of view (secure or non-secure) does not affect the cloning of privileges.

According to the Using Persisted Query Results documentation, the RESULT_SCAN function allows you to query the result set of a previous command as if it were a table. This can improve the performance of the second query by avoiding reading the same data from micro-partitions again. The other actions do not provide optimal performance for the second query because:

•Assigning additional clusters to the virtual warehouse does not affect the data access speed, but only the query execution speed. It also increases the cost of the warehouse.

•Increasing the STATEMENT_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS parameter in the session does not improve the performance of the query, but only allows it to run longer before timing out. It also increases the risk of resource contention and deadlock.

•Preventing the virtual warehouse from suspending between the running of the first and second queries does not guarantee that the data will be cached in memory, as Snowflake uses a least recently used (LRU) cache eviction policy. It also increases the cost of the warehouse.

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.
