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.

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 requirement is for the data to be accessible as quickly as possible after it arrives in the external stage with minimal coding effort.

Option A: Snowpipe with auto-ingest is a service that continuously loads data as it arrives in the stage. With auto-ingest, Snowpipe automatically detects new files as they arrive in a cloud stage and loads the data into the specified Snowflake table with minimal delay and no intervention required. This is an ideal low-maintenance solution for the given scenario where files are arriving at a very high frequency.

Option E: Using a combination of a task and a stream allows for real-time change data capture in Snowflake. A stream records changes (inserts, updates, and deletes) made to a table, and a task can be scheduled to trigger on a very short interval, ensuring that changes are processed into the dashboard tables as they occur.
