The best way to meet the requirement of consolidating company B’s sales data into company A’s Snowflake account is to use cross-region data replication within Snowflake. This feature allows data providers to securely share data with data consumers across different regions and cloud platforms. By replicating the sales data from company B’s account in Azure West Europe region to company A’s account in AWS us-east-1 region, the data will be synchronized and available for consumption. To enable data replication, the accounts must be linked and replication must be enabled by a user with the ORGADMIN role. Then, a replication group must be created and the sales database must be added to the group. Finally, a direct share must be configured from company B’s account to company A’s account to grant access to the replicated data. This option is more efficient and secure than exporting and importing data using CSV files or migrating the entire Snowflake deployment to another region or cloud platform. It also does not require building a custom data pipeline using external tools.

• The architecture in the image shows a Snowflake data platform with two databases, DB1 and DB2, and two schemas, SH1 and SH2. DB1 contains a table TBL1 and a stage STAGE1. DB2 contains a table TBL2. The image also shows a snippet of code written in SQL language that copies data from STAGE1 to TBL2 using a file format FF PIPE 1.
• To copy data from DB1 to TBL2, there are two possible options among the choices given:

SQLAI-generated code. Review and use carefully. More info on FAQ.

use database DB2;

use schema SH2;

create stage EXT_STAGE1

url = @DB1.SH1.STAGE1;

The image shows a SQL query that can be used to identify which queries are spilled to remote storage and suggests changing the warehouse parameters to address this issue. Spilling to remote storage occurs when the memory allocated to a warehouse is insufficient to process a query, and Snowflake uses disk or cloud storage as a temporary cache. This can significantly slow down the query performance and increase the cost. To troubleshoot this issue, a Snowflake Architect can run the query shown in the image to find out which queries are spilling, how much data they are spilling, and which warehouses they are using. Then, the architect can adjust the warehouse size, type, or scaling policy to provide enough memory for the queries and avoid spilling12. References:
