Question 5:
Correct answer: A — True
Snowflake supports bulk unloading with COPY INTO <location> using a SELECT statement as the source. This allows you to export either:

  • All or selected columns from a table
  • Filtered rows using WHERE
  • Transformed or joined data

Example: 
sql 
COPY INTO @my_stage/export/ 
FROM ( 
  SELECT customer_id, order_date 
  FROM orders 
  WHERE order_date >= '2025-01-01' 
);
Snowflake writes the query results to files in the specified internal or external stage. The key distinction is that COPY INTO is used for bulk movement of data, while a regular SELECT only returns query results and does not unload them to staged files.

Question 1:
Correct answer: B — Clustering keys
Snowflake automatically organizes table data into micro-partitions and uses natural clustering based on how data is loaded. However, for large tables where query performance depends on particular columns, you can define a clustering key.
A clustering key:

  • Specifies one or more columns or expressions Snowflake should use when organizing table data.
  • Helps Snowflake’s automatic reclustering keep related rows grouped together.
  • Can improve pruning for queries that frequently filter or join on those columns.

Why the others are incorrect:
  • Micro-partitions: Snowflake’s storage units; users do not directly define them as an override mechanism.
  • Key partitions: Not a Snowflake feature.
  • Clustered partitions: Not the name of the customer-defined mechanism.

The answer key’s B is correct.

Question 17:
Correct answer: D — To accommodate a more complex workload.
Increasing a Virtual Warehouse from X-Small to Medium is vertical scaling. The larger warehouse provides more compute resources, which can improve performance for:

  • Complex queries
  • Large scans or joins
  • Resource-intensive transformations
  • Queries involving substantial processing

Why the others are less appropriate:
  • More users / more queries: This usually calls for multi-cluster warehouses, which add clusters to handle concurrency.
  • Fluctuations in workload: This is typically addressed with auto-suspend/auto-resume or multi-cluster scaling, rather than simply choosing a larger warehouse.

Thus, warehouse size primarily affects the compute power available to individual workloads.
