Snowflake ARA-R01 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

By default, Snowflake does not allow sharing data from a Business Critical edition to a non-Business Critical edition. This is because Business Critical edition provides enhanced security and data protection features that are not available in lower editions. However, this restriction can be overridden by setting the share_restriction parameter on the shared object (database, schema, or table) to false. This parameter allows the data provider to explicitly allow sharing data with lower edition accounts. Note that this parameter can only be set by the data provider, not the data consumer. Also, setting this parameter to false may reduce the level of security and data protection for the shared data.

 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.

According to the SnowPro Advanced: Architect documents and learning resources, column masking policies are applied at query time based on the privileges of the user who runs the query. Therefore, if a user has the privilege to see unmasked data in a column, they will see the original data when they query that column. If they load this column data into another column that does not have a masking policy, the unmasked data will be loaded in the new column, and any user who can query the new column will see the unmasked data as well. The masking policy does not affect the underlying data in the column, only the query results.
