SnowPro Core Exam - Question 15


Snowflake is designed for which type of workloads? (Choose two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AC

Snowflake is primarily designed for OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) workloads, facilitating complex queries and analytical operations efficiently. Additionally, it is well-suited for concurrent workloads due to its unique architecture, which allows multiple virtual warehouses to run simultaneously and scale independently based on demand. This design helps handle a high number of concurrent users and queries without performance degradation. Although there have been developments like Snowflake Unistore to support transactional (OLTP) data, Snowflake's core strength remains in OLAP and concurrent workloads.

I think the answer is A and C, OLTP is not best use case for snowflake https://www.quora.com/Can-Snowflake-be-used-for-an-OLTP-system-or-is-it-only-best-suited-for-warehousing

Though Snowflake can handle transactions, it is never built to process OLTP.. infact it is built only for BI & Analytics.

A. OLAP (Analytics) workloads C. Concurrent workloads Snowflake is primarily designed for analytical processing (OLAP) and can efficiently handle concurrent workloads due to its architecture, which allows multiple virtual warehouses to operate independently and scale as needed. It is not optimized for OLTP (Transactional) workloads, which typically require low-latency operations, nor is it designed specifically for on-premise workloads, as it is a cloud-based data warehousing solution.

Yes, community is right . The answer should be A & C . Because Snowflake is not designed for OLTP workloads. You can simply search on google for confirmation. Please update this answer list.

A. OLAP (Analytics) workloads B. OLTP (Transactional) workloads

The correct answer is OLAP and OLTP. Why? Because Snf introduced a new feature "Unistore" which enables hybrid tables with both transactional type data (OLTP) and analytical data (OLAP), in the PAST the answer would be different as one can see in the answer given by Snowflake below. https://community.snowflake.com/s/question/0D50Z00008BDIPTSA5/snowflake-oltp https://www.snowflake.com/en/data-cloud/workloads/unistore/

Isn't oltp vs concurrent workloads same? What are the differences

Snowflake Database is not designed for OLTP as Snowflake uses Columnar storage. OLTP typically are Row-oriented storage.

As a Data Warehouse it's surely optimised for OLAP and concurrent workloads.
