Snowflake COF-C02 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

 Snowflake is designed to optimize query performance by utilizing metadata for certain types of queries. When executing a COUNT query, Snowflake can often fulfill the request by accessing metadata about the table’s row count, rather than scanning the entire table or micro-partitions. This is particularly efficient for large tables like FCT_SALES with a significant number of records. The metadata layer maintains statistics about the table, including the row count, which enables Snowflake to quickly return the result of a COUNT query without the need to perform a full scan.

 The OBJECT_CONSTRUCT function is used in Snowflake to create a JSON object from relational data, which is useful when unloading semi-structured data. The SINGLE = TRUE parameter is used when unloading data to ensure that the data is exported as a single file, which can be up to 5 GB in size.

Object Name Resolution: When unqualified object names (e.g., table name without schema) are used in a UDF, Snowflake follows a specific hierarchy to resolve them. Here's the order:

Current Schema: Snowflake first checks if an object with the given name exists in the schema currently in use for the session.

PUBLIC Schema: If the object isn't found in the current schema, Snowflake looks in the PUBLIC schema of the current database.

Note: The SEARCH_PATH parameter influences object resolution for queries, not within UDFs.
