ADA-C01 Exam Dumps : SnowPro Advanced Administrator

According to the Snowflake documentation1, organizations are a feature that allows linking the accounts owned by a business entity, simplifying account management and billing, replication and failover, data sharing, and other account administration tasks. Some of the benefits of using organizations are:

•Administrators can monitor and understand usage across all accounts in the organization using the ORGANIZATION_USAGE schema, which provides historical usage data for all accounts in the organization via views in a shared database named SNOWFLAKE2. This can help to optimize costs and performance across the organization.

•Administrators have the ability to create accounts in any available cloud provider or region using the CREATE ACCOUNT command, which allows specifying the cloud platform and region for the new account3. This can help to meet the business needs and compliance requirements of the organization.

Option A is incorrect because administrators cannot change Snowflake account editions on-demand based on need, but rather have to contact Snowflake Support to request an edition change4. Option C is incorrect because administrators cannot simplify data movement across all accounts within the organization, but rather have to enable account database replication for both the source and target accounts, and use the ALTER DATABASE … ENABLE REPLICATION TO ACCOUNTS command to promote a local database to serve as the primary database and enable replication to the target accounts5. Option D is incorrect because user administration is not simplified across all accounts within the organization, but rather requires creating and managing users, roles, and privileges for each account separately, unless using a federated authentication method such as SSO or SCIM.

To request and get data from a Data Exchange, the role in Account 123 must have the USAGE privilege on the Data Exchange object. This privilege allows the role to view the listings and request access to the data. According to the Snowflake documentation, “To view the listings in a data exchange, a role must have the USAGE privilege on the data exchange object. To request access to a listing, a role must have the USAGE privilege on the data exchange object and the IMPORT SHARE privilege on the account.” The other options are either incorrect or not sufficient to request and get data from a Data Exchange. Option A is incorrect, as the ACCOUNTADMIN role is not the only role that can request and get data, as long as other roles have the necessary privileges. Option C is incorrect, as the IMPORT SHARE and CREATE DATABASE privileges are not required to request and get data, but only to create a database from a share after the access is granted. Option D is incorrect, as the listing provider does not designate the authorized roles in Account 123, but only approves or denies the requests from Account 123.

According to the Replication considerations documentation, the Time Travel retention period for a secondary database can be different from the primary database. The retention period can be set at the database, schema, or table level using the DATA_RETENTION_TIME_IN_DAYS parameter. Therefore, to extend the Time Travel retention policy to 60 days on the secondary database only, the best option is to set the data retention policy on the secondary database to 60 days using the ALTER DATABASE command. The other options are incorrect because:

•B. Setting the data retention policy on the schemas in the secondary database to 60 days will not affect the database-level retention period, which will remain at 30 days. The most specific setting overrides the more general ones, so the schema-level setting will apply to the tables in the schema, but not to the database itself.

•C. Setting the data retention policy on the primary database to 30 days and the schemas to 60 days will not affect the secondary database, which will have its own retention period. The replication process does not copy the retention period settings from the primary to the secondary database, so they can be configured independently.

•D. Setting the data retention policy on the primary database to 60 days will not affect the secondary database, which will have its own retention period. The replication process does not copy the retention period settings from the primary to the secondary database, so they can be configured independently.
