For the configuration of data unloading in Snowflake, the valid option among the provided choices is "C." This is because Snowflake supports unloading data into Google Cloud Storage using the COPY INTO command with specific configurations. The configurations listed in option C, such as Parquet file format with UTF-8 encoding and gzip compression, are all supported by Snowflake. Notably, Parquet is a columnar storage file format, which is optimal for high-performance data processing tasks in Snowflake. The UTF-8 file encoding and gzip compression are both standard and widely used settings that are compatible with Snowflake’s capabilities for data unloading to cloud storage platforms.References:

The correct answer is option B. This query is designed to assess the need for a multi-cluster warehouse by examining the queuing time (AVG_QUEUED_LOAD) on different days and virtual warehouses. When the AVG_QUEUED_LOAD is greater than zero, it suggests that queries are waiting for resources, which can be an indicator that performance might be improved by using a multi-cluster warehouse to handle the workload more efficiently. By grouping by date and warehouse name and filtering on the sum of the average queued load being greater than zero, the query identifies specific days and warehouses where the workload exceeded the available compute resources. This information is valuable when considering scaling out warehouses to multi-cluster configurations for improved performance.

A. Snowflake's transactions can indeed include DDL (Data Definition Language), DML (Data Manipulation Language), and query statements. When executed within a transaction block, they all contribute to the atomicity of the transaction—either all of them commit together or none at all.C. Snowflake supports explicit transaction control through the use of the BEGIN TRANSACTION (or simply BEGIN) and COMMIT statements. Alternatively, the BEGIN WORK and COMMIT WORK syntax is also supported, which is a standard SQL syntax for initiating and ending transactions, respectively.Note: The END TRANSACTION statement is not used in Snowflake to end a transaction; the correct statement is COMMIT or COMMIT WORK.
