Snowflake processes queries usingMassively Parallel Processing (MPP)compute clusters, deployed as virtual warehouses. Each warehouse consists of multiple compute nodes working in parallel to execute queries efficiently. When a query is submitted, Snowflake distributes tasks across nodes, processes data subsets concurrently, and aggregates results. This architecture enables high performance, scalability, and the ability to handle complex analytical workloads. While Snowflake does incorporate elements of shared-disk storage, query execution itself depends on MPP compute clusters. Options such as third-party connectors or storage optimization do not represent the core query processing mechanism.

=======================================

In Snowflake Notebooks, Python and SQL operate in an integrated environment. Python variable substitution is performed usingstring placeholders or f-string interpolationwithin SQL statements. This allows dynamic query construction where Python values are embedded directly into SQL code executed through the Snowpark session.

Example:

table_name = "CUSTOMERS"

session.sql(f"SELECT * FROM {table_name}").show()

This method enables parameterized, context-aware SQL generation—ideal for iterative development, automation, and pipeline construction. It avoids manual text editing and provides consistency across Python and SQL execution layers.

Incorrect responses:

Network settings and HTML are unrelated to variable handling.

Editing data files does not apply to dynamic query parameterization.

Variable substitution is essential for combining logic, iteration, and conditional flows within notebooks.

====================================================

As a fully managed cloud data platform, Snowflake is responsible for infrastructure provisioning, hardware, software installation, platform upgrades, scaling, and internal metadata management such as micro-partitions and statistics. Customers do not manage physical hardware or install Snowflake software.

Customers are responsible for their data and its lifecycle within Snowflake. This includes loading data into tables from internal and external sources, unloading data when required, organizing data structures (databases, schemas, tables), defining access controls, and managing how data is used, transformed, and governed. They design schemas and workloads but do not manage the underlying engine. Therefore, “Loading, unloading, and managing data” correctly describes the customer’s responsibility.

In Snowflake’s Secure Data Sharing model, the accountsharingdata is known as thedata provider. Providers create shares that include selected objects (tables, views, secure views, etc.) and grant access to consumer accounts.
