A Pre-signed URL provides access to files stored in Snowflake without requiring authorization at the time of access. This feature allows users to generate a URL with a limited validity period that grants temporary access to a file in a secure manner. It's particularly useful for sharing data with external parties or applications without the need for them to authenticate directly with Snowflake.

When unloading floating-point number columns to CSV or JSON files, Snowflake truncates the values to approximately 15 significant digits with 9 digits following the decimal point, which can be represented as (15,9). This ensures a balance between accuracy and efficiency in representing floating-point numbers in text-based formats, which is essential for data interchange and processing applications that consume these files.

When a Snowflake user increases the size of a suspended virtual warehouse, the changes to compute resources are queued but do not take immediate effect. The provisioning of additional compute resources occurs only when the warehouse is resumed. This ensures that resources are allocated efficiently, aligning with Snowflake's commitment to cost-effective and on-demand scalability.

To temporarily bypass a network policy by configuring the user object property MINS_TO_BYPASS_NETWORK_POLICY, the USERADMIN role should be used. This role has the necessary privileges to modify user properties, including setting a temporary bypass for network policies, which can be crucial for enabling access under specific circumstances without permanently altering the network security configuration.
