A virtual warehouse is created using the following command:

Create warehouse my_WH with -
warehouse_size = MEDIUM
min_cluster_count = 1
max_cluster_count = 1
auto_suspend = 60
auto_resume = true;

The image below is a graphical representation of the warehouse utilization across two days.


What action should be taken to address this situation?

  1. Increase the warehouse size from Medium to 2XL.
  2. Increase the value for the parameter MAX_CONCURRENCY_LEVEL.
  3. Configure the warehouse to a multi-cluster warehouse.
  4. Lower the value of the parameter STATEMENT_QUEUED_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS.

Answer(s): C

Question 104:

  • Correct answer: D) Multi-Terabyte (TB) Range

  • Brief explanation:
- clustering keys organize data into micro-partitions to improve pruning when queries filter on those columns. - The performance benefit is most significant for very large tables; for small tables the overhead of maintaining clustering outweighs gains. - Therefore, as a best practice, define clustering keys on tables at the TB scale.

Question 3:

  • False is the correct answer (Option B).

Why:
  • In Snowflake, a database is a metadata object that exists within a single Snowflake account. Accounts are isolated—there isn’t one database that lives in multiple accounts.
  • You can access data across accounts via data sharing or database replication, but these create separate database objects in the other accounts (e.g., a database in the consumer account created from a share), not a single shared database across accounts.

So a single database cannot exist in more than one Snowflake account.
