The requirements state that the data analysts need to be able to create and modify database objects and load data, but should not be able to manage access for users outside of their role.

Option C: By making each schema within the database a managed access schema and having them owned by SYSADMIN, the ability to grant privileges on the schema's objects is strictly controlled. Managed access schemas limit the granting of privileges to the role specified as the owner of the schema, in this case, SYSADMIN. The ANALYST_ROLE can be granted the privileges necessary to create and modify objects within these schemas, satisfying the requirement for the analysts to perform their tasks without being able to extend access beyond their role.

The Snowflake system functions used to view and monitor the clustering metadata for a table are:

• SYSTEM$CLUSTERING_INFORMATION
• SYSTEM$CLUSTERING_DEPTH

Comprehensive But Short Explanation:

• The SYSTEM$CLUSTERING_INFORMATION function in Snowflake returns a variety of clustering information for a specified table. This information includes the average clustering depth, total number of micro-partitions, total constant partition count, average overlaps, average depth, and a partition depth histogram. This function allows you to specify either one or multiple columns for which the clustering information is returned, and it returns this data in JSON format.
• The SYSTEM$CLUSTERING_DEPTH function computes the average depth of a table based on specified columns or the clustering key defined for the table. A lower average depth indicates that the table is better clustered with respect to the specified columns. This function also allows specifying columns to calculate the depth, and the values need to be enclosed in single quotes.

The use of the search optimization service in Snowflake is particularly effective when queries involve operations that match exact substrings or start from the beginning of a string. The ALTER TABLE command adding search optimization specifically for substrings on the CA_ADDRESS_ID field allows the service to create an optimized search path for queries using substring matches.

• Option A benefits because it directly matches a substring from the start of the CA_ADDRESS_ID, aligning with the optimization's capability to quickly locate records based on the beginning segments of strings.
• Option B also benefits, despite performing a full equality check, because it essentially compares the full length of CA_ADDRESS_ID to a substring, which can leverage the substring index for efficient retrieval.Options C, D, and E involve patterns that do not start from the beginning of the string or use negations, which are not optimized by the search optimization service configured for starting substring matches.References: Snowflake's documentation on the use of search optimization for substring matching in SQL queries.
