An Administrator has a warehouse which is intended to have a credit quota set for 3000 for each calendar year. The Administrator needs to create a resource monitor that
will perform the following tasks:
1. At 80% usage notify the account Administrators.
2. At 100% usage suspend the warehouse and notify the account Administrators.
3. At 120% stop all running executions, suspend the warehouse, and notify the account Administrators.
Which SQL command will meet these requirements?
A company has implemented Snowflake replication between two Snowflake accounts, both of which are running on a Snowflake Enterprise edition. The replication is for the
database APP_DB containing only one schema, APP_SCHEMA. The company's Time Travel retention policy is currently set for 30 days for both accounts. An Administrator
has been asked to extend the Time Travel retention policy to 60 days on the secondary database only.
How can this requirement be met?
A Snowflake user runs a complex SQL query on a dedicated virtual warehouse that reads a large amount of data from micro-partitions. The same user wants to run another
query that uses the same data set.
Which action would provide optimal performance for the second SQL query?
