Database replication is a feature that allows you to create a copy of a database in another account, region, or cloud platform for disaster recovery or business continuity purposes. However, not all database objects can be replicated. External tables are one of the exceptions, as they reference data files stored in an external stage that is not part of Snowflake. Therefore, to replicate a database that contains external tables, you need to move the external tables to a separate database that is not replicated, and then replicate the primary database that contains the other objects. This way, you can avoid replication errors and ensure consistency between the primary and secondary databases. The other options are incorrect because they either do not address the issue of external tables, or they use an alternative method that is not supported by Snowflake. You cannot create a clone of the primary database and then replicate it, as replication only works on the original database, not on its clones. You also cannot share the primary database with another account, as sharing is a different feature that does not create a copy of the database, but rather grants access to the shared objects. Finally, you do not need to ensure that the replicated database is in the same region as the external tables, as external tables can access data files stored in any region or cloud platform, as long as the stage URL is valid and accessible. References:

In a managed access schema, the privilege management is centralized with the schema owner, who has the authority to grant object privileges within the schema. Additionally, the SECURITYADMIN role has the capability to manage object grants globally, which includes within managed access schemas. Other roles, such as SYSADMIN or database owners, do not inherently have this privilege unless explicitly granted.

References: The verified answers are based on Snowflake’s official documentation, which outlines the roles and privileges associated with managed access schemas12.

• Snowflake supports data sharing across regions and cloud platforms using account replication and share replication features. Account replication enables the replication of objects from a source account to one or more target accounts in the same organization. Share replication enables the replication of shares from a source account to one or more target accounts in the same organization1.
• To share data from the MARKET_DB database in the ACCOUNTA account in AWS us-east-1 region with the PARTNERB account in Azure East US 2 region, the following steps must be performed:
• Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
