Tri-Secret Secure is a feature that allows customers to use their own key, called the customer-managed key (CMK), in addition to the Snowflake-managed key, to create a composite master key that encrypts the data in Snowflake. The composite master key is also known as the account master key (AMK), as it is unique for each account and encrypts the table master keys (TMKs) that encrypt the file keys that encrypt the data files. The customer-managed key is used at the account level, not at the root level, the table level, or the micro-partition level. The root level is protected by a hardware security module (HSM), the table level is protected by the TMKs, and the micro-partition level is protected by the file keys12. References:

The correct answer is B and E because they use the correct syntax and values for the identifier function and the session variables.

The identifier function allows you to use a variable or expression as an identifier (such as a table name or column name) in a SQL statement. It takes a single argument and returns it as an identifier. For example, identifier($tbl_ref) returns EMP_TBL as an identifier.

The session variables are set using the SET command and can be referenced using the $ sign. For example, $var1 returns Name1 as a value.

Option A is incorrect because it uses Stbl_ref and Scol_ref, which are not valid session variables or identifiers. They should be $tbl_ref and $col_ref instead.

Option C is incorrect because it uses identifier, which is not a valid syntax for the identifier function. It should be identifier($tbl_ref) instead.

Option D is incorrect because it uses Cvarl, var2, and var3, which are not valid session variables or values. They should be $var1, $var2, and $var3 instead. References:

In Snowflake's parameter hierarchy, virtual warehouse parameters take precedence over user parameters. This hierarchy is designed to ensure that settings at the virtual warehouse level, which typically reflect the requirements of a specific workload or set of queries, override the preferences set at the individual user level. This helps maintain consistent performance and resource utilization as specified by the administrators managing the virtual warehouses.
