A transient schema in Snowflake is designed without a Fail-safe period, meaning it does not incur additional storage costs once it leaves Time Travel, and it is not protected by Fail-safe in the event of a data loss. The WITH MANAGED ACCESS option ensures that all privilege grants, including future grants on objects within the schema, are managed by the schema owner, thus restricting object owners from passing on access to other users1.

These two configuration options can enhance the performance of the workload that consists of a huge number of concurrent queries that are smaller and faster.

Enabling a multi-clustered virtual warehouse in maximized mode allows the warehouse to scale out automatically by adding more clusters as soon as the current cluster is fully loaded, regardless of the number of queries in the queue. This can improve the concurrency and throughput of the workload by minimizing or preventing queuing. The maximized mode is suitable for workloads that require high performance and low latency, and are less sensitive to credit consumption1.

Setting the MAX_CONCURRENCY_LEVEL to a higher value than its default value of 8 at the virtual warehouse level allows the warehouse to run more queries concurrently on each cluster. This can improve the utilization and efficiency of the warehouse resources, especially for smaller and faster queries that do not require a lot of processing power. The MAX_CONCURRENCY_LEVEL parameter can be set when creating or modifying a warehouse, and it can be changed at any time2.

According to the Snowflake documentation, unstructured data files can be shared by using a secure view and Secure Data Sharing. A secure view allows the result of a query to be accessed like a table, and a secure view is specifically designated for data privacy. A scoped URL is an encoded URL that permits temporary access to a staged file without granting privileges to the stage. The URL expires when the persisted query result period ends, which is currently 24 hours. A scoped URL is recommended for file administrators to give scoped access to data files to specific roles in the same account. Snowflake records information in the query history about who uses a scoped URL to access a file, and when. Therefore, a scoped URL is the best option to share unstructured data within Snowflake, as it provides security, accountability, and control over the data access. References:
