ADA-C01 Exam Dumps : SnowPro Advanced Administrator

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.

According to the [GRANT MODIFY] documentation, the MODIFY privilege on a data exchange allows a role to perform administrative tasks on the data exchange, such as inviting members, approving profiles, and reviewing listings. This privilege can be granted by the ACCOUNTADMIN role or a role that already has the MODIFY privilege on the data exchange. Therefore, to delegate the administration of a company’s data exchange to users who do not have access to the ACCOUNTADMIN role, the best option is to grant the MODIFY privilege on the data exchange to a role that the users can assume. The other options are incorrect because:

•A. There is no such privilege as IMPORTED PRIVILEGES in Snowflake. The correct privilege name is IMPORT SHARE, which allows a role to create a database from a share. This privilege is not related to the administration of a data exchange, but to the consumption of shared data.

•C. There is no such privilege as OWNERSHIP in Snowflake. The correct privilege name is OWNED BY, which indicates the role that owns an object and has full control over it. However, this privilege cannot be granted or revoked, but only transferred by the current owner to another role using the GRANT OWNERSHIP command. Therefore, this option is not feasible for delegating the administration of a data exchange.

•D. The USAGE privilege on a data exchange allows a role to access the data exchange and view the available data listings. This privilege does not allow a role to perform administrative tasks on the data exchange, such as inviting members, approving profiles, and reviewing listings. Therefore, this option is not sufficient for delegating the administration of a data exchange.

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.
