 These two actions are possible with an inbound share, according to the Snowflake documentation and the web search results. An inbound share is a share that is created by another Snowflake account (the provider) and imported into your account (the consumer). An inbound share allows you to access the data shared by the provider, but not to modify or delete it. However, you can perform some actions with the inbound share, such as:

• Clone a table from a share. You can create a copy of a table from an inbound share using the CREATE TABLE … CLONE statement. The clone will contain the same data and metadata as the original table, but it will be independent of the share. You can modify or delete the clone as you wish, but it will not reflect any changes made to the original table by the provider1.
• Create additional views inside the shared database. You can create views on the tables or views from an inbound share using the CREATE VIEW statement. The views will be stored in the shared database, but they will be owned by your account. You can query the views as you would query any other view in your account, but you cannot modify or delete the underlying objects from the share2.

The other actions listed are not possible with an inbound share, because they would require modifying the share or the shared objects, which are read-only for the consumer. You cannot grant modify permissions on the share, create a table from the shared database, or create a table stream on the shared table34.

The requirement is for the data to be accessible as quickly as possible after it arrives in the external stage with minimal coding effort.

Option A: Snowpipe with auto-ingest is a service that continuously loads data as it arrives in the stage. With auto-ingest, Snowpipe automatically detects new files as they arrive in a cloud stage and loads the data into the specified Snowflake table with minimal delay and no intervention required. This is an ideal low-maintenance solution for the given scenario where files are arriving at a very high frequency.

Option E: Using a combination of a task and a stream allows for real-time change data capture in Snowflake. A stream records changes (inserts, updates, and deletes) made to a table, and a task can be scheduled to trigger on a very short interval, ensuring that changes are processed into the dashboard tables as they occur.

For the configuration of data unloading in Snowflake, the valid option among the provided choices is "C." This is because Snowflake supports unloading data into Google Cloud Storage using the COPY INTO command with specific configurations. The configurations listed in option C, such as Parquet file format with UTF-8 encoding and gzip compression, are all supported by Snowflake. Notably, Parquet is a columnar storage file format, which is optimal for high-performance data processing tasks in Snowflake. The UTF-8 file encoding and gzip compression are both standard and widely used settings that are compatible with Snowflake’s capabilities for data unloading to cloud storage platforms.References:
