Which data type can be used to store geospatial data in Snowflake?
The GEOGRAPHY data type in Snowflake is specifically designed to store geospatial data by modeling Earth as though it were a perfect sphere, allowing for spatial queries and analysis.
Geometry is in preview... assume this test refers to GA .. so D makes sense
Snowflake provides the following data types for geospatial data: The GEOGRAPHY data type, which models Earth as though it were a perfect sphere. The GEOMETRY data type, which represents features in a planar (Euclidean, Cartesian) coordinate system.
D is correct
Data Types Snowflake provides the following data types for geospatial data: The GEOGRAPHY data type, which models Earth as though it were a perfect sphere. The GEOMETRY data type, which represents features in a planar (Euclidean, Cartesian) coordinate system. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/data-types-geospatial
C and D: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/data-types-geospatial Snowflake provides the following data types for geospatial data: The GEOGRAPHY data type, which models Earth as though it were a perfect sphere. The GEOMETRY data type, which represents features in a planar (Euclidean, Cartesian) coordinate system.
Both Geography and Geometry are geospatial data types https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/data-types-geospatial two options must have given
The GEOGRAPHY data type is specifically designed for storing geospatial data, allowing for spatial queries and analysis.
Correct
The GEOGRAPHY and GEOMETRY data types can store the following types of geospatial objects: WKT / WKB / EWKT / EWKB / GeoJSON geospatial objects: Point. MultiPoint.

For geospatial data storage like longitude/latitude Geography is the option https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/data-types-geospatial#:~:text=If%20you%20have,use%20geospatial%20functionality.

The GEOGRAPHY data type, which models Earth as though it were a perfect sphere. The GEOMETRY data type, which represents features in a planar (Euclidean, Cartesian) coordinate system. [only PREVIEW as of Mar-2023] => D is correct
