An Architect has chosen to separate their Snowflake Production and QA environments using two separate Snowflake accounts.
The QA account is intended to run and test changes on data and database objects before pushing those changes to the Production account. It is a requirement that all database objects and data in the QA account need to be an exact copy of the database objects, including privileges and data in the Production account on at least a nightly basis.
Which is the LEAST complex approach to use to populate the QA account with the Production account’s data and database objects on a nightly basis?
An Architect is designing a solution that will be used to process changed records in an orders table. Newly-inserted orders must be loaded into the f_orders fact table, which will aggregate all the orders by multiple dimensions (time, region, channel, etc.). Existing orders can be updated by the sales department within 30 days after the order creation. In case of an order update, the solution must perform two actions:
1. Update the order in the f_0RDERS fact table.
2. Load the changed order data into the special table ORDER _REPAIRS.
This table is used by the Accounting department once a month. If the order has been changed, the Accounting team needs to know the latest details and perform the necessary actions based on the data in the order_repairs table.
What data processing logic design will be the MOST performant?
An Architect is designing a file ingestion recovery solution. The project will use an internal named stage for file storage. Currently, in the case of an ingestion failure, the Operations team must manually download the failed file and check for errors.
