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.

The inclusion of the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() function in the second query prevents it from re-using the first query’s persisted result cache because this function makes each execution unique due to the constantly changing timestamp. According to the Snowflake documentation, “The query does not include non-reusable functions, which return different results for successive runs of the same query. UUID_STRING, RANDOM, and RANDSTR are good examples of non-reusable functions.” The CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() function is another example of a non-reusable function, as it returns the current date and time at the start of query execution, which varies for each run. Therefore, the second query is not identical to the first query, and the result cache is not reused. The other options are either incorrect or irrelevant to the question. Option B is incorrect, as the CURRENT_DATE() function is a reusable function, as it returns the same value for all queries executed within the same day. Option C is irrelevant, as the virtual warehouse used to execute the query does not affect the result cache reuse. Option D is also irrelevant, as the role used to execute the query does not affect the result cache reuse, as long as the role has the necessary access privileges for all the tables used in the query.

•Option A is correct because the ALTER DATABASE … ENABLE REPLICATION TO ACCOUNTS command must be issued from the primary account that owns the database to be replicated1.

•Option B is incorrect because users must be granted REPLICATIONGRANTER privileges in order to enable replication1.

•Option C is incorrect because to start replication, the ALTER DATABASE … REFRESH command must be run on the primary database, not the secondary database1.

•Option D is incorrect because replication can occur across different cloud providers, as well as across regions2.

•Option E is correct because databases created from shares can be replicated, as long as the share is active and the database is not dropped or altered1.

•Option F is correct because users can have unlimited primary databases and they can be replicated to an unlimited number of accounts if all accounts are within the same organization1.
