ARA-C01 Exam Dumps : SnowPro Advanced: Architect Certification Exam

According to the SnowPro Advanced: Architect documents and learning resources, the ways that Snowflake databases that are created from shares differ from standard databases that are not created from shares are:

Shared databases are read-only. This means that the data consumers who access the shared databases cannot modify or delete the data or the objects in the databases. The data providers who share the databases have full control over the data and the objects, and can grant or revoke privileges on them1.

Shared databases cannot be cloned. This means that the data consumers who access the shared databases cannot create a copy of the databases or the objects in the databases. The data providers who share the databases can clone the databases or the objects, but the clones are not automatically shared2.

Shared databases are not supported by Time Travel. This means that the data consumers who access the shared databases cannot use the AS OF clause to query historical data or restore deleted data. The data providers who share the databases can use Time Travel on the databases or the objects, but the historical data is not visible to the data consumers3.

The other options are incorrect because they are not ways that Snowflake databases that are created from shares differ from standard databases that are not created from shares. Option B is incorrect because shared databases do not need to be refreshed in order for new data to be visible. The data consumers who access the shared databases can see the latest data as soon as the data providers update the data1. Option E is incorrect because shared databases will not have the PUBLIC or INFORMATION_SCHEMA schemas without explicitly granting these schemas to the share. The data consumers who access the shared databases can only see the objects that the data providers grant to the share, and the PUBLIC and INFORMATION_SCHEMA schemas are not granted by default4. Option F is incorrect because shared databases cannot be created as transient databases. Transient databases are databases that do not support Time Travel or Fail-safe, and can be dropped without affecting the retention period of the data. Shared databases are always created as permanent databases, regardless of the type of the source database5. References: Introduction to Secure Data Sharing |Snowflake Documentation, Cloning Objects | Snowflake Documentation, Time Travel | Snowflake Documentation, Working with Shares | Snowflake Documentation, CREATE DATABASE | Snowflake Documentation

To change the edition of a Snowflake account, an organization administrator (ORGADMIN) cannot directly alter the account settings through SQL commands or the Snowflake interface. The proper procedure is to contact Snowflake Support to request an edition change for the account. This ensures that the change is managed correctly and aligns with Snowflake’s operational protocols.

In Snowflake, the characteristics of result set caches include persistence of data results for 24 hours (B), each use of persisted results resets the 24-hour retention period (C), and result set caches are not shared between different warehouses (F). The result set cache is specifically designed to avoid repeated execution of the same query within this timeframe, reducing computational overhead and speeding up query responses. These caches do not contribute to storage costs, and their retention period cannot be extended beyond the default duration nor up to 31 days, as might be misconstrued.
