Snowflake ARA-R01 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

• The architecture in the image shows a Snowflake data platform with two databases, DB1 and DB2, and two schemas, SH1 and SH2. DB1 contains a table TBL1 and a stage STAGE1. DB2 contains a table TBL2. The image also shows a snippet of code written in SQL language that copies data from STAGE1 to TBL2 using a file format FF PIPE 1.
• To copy data from DB1 to TBL2, there are two possible options among the choices given:

SQLAI-generated code. Review and use carefully. More info on FAQ.

use database DB2;

use schema SH2;

create stage EXT_STAGE1

url = @DB1.SH1.STAGE1;

from @EXT_STAGE1

file format = (format name = DB1.SH1.FF PIPE 1);

insert into TBL2

select * from DB1.SH1.TBL1;

• The other options are not valid because:

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.

Database replication is a feature that allows you to create a copy of a database in another account, region, or cloud platform for disaster recovery or business continuity purposes. However, not all database objects can be replicated. External tables are one of the exceptions, as they reference data files stored in an external stage that is not part of Snowflake. Therefore, to replicate a database that contains external tables, you need to move the external tables to a separate database that is not replicated, and then replicate the primary database that contains the other objects. This way, you can avoid replication errors and ensure consistency between the primary and secondary databases. The other options are incorrect because they either do not address the issue of external tables, or they use an alternative method that is not supported by Snowflake. You cannot create a clone of the primary database and then replicate it, as replication only works on the original database, not on its clones. You also cannot share the primary database with another account, as sharing is a different feature that does not create a copy of the database, but rather grants access to the shared objects. Finally, you do not need to ensure that the replicated database is in the same region as the external tables, as external tables can access data files stored in any region or cloud platform, as long as the stage URL is valid and accessible. References:
