True or False: An active warehouse is required to run a COPY INTO statement.
True or False: An active warehouse is required to run a COPY INTO statement.
An active warehouse is required to run a COPY INTO statement because it provides the compute resources needed to move and process the data. The COPY INTO operation involves loading data from an external stage into a Snowflake table, and this process requires an active virtual warehouse to handle the compute tasks associated with the data transfer.
Execute COPY INTO <table> to load your staged data into the target table. Note that this command requires an active, running warehouse, which you created as a prerequisite for this tutorial. If you don’t have access to a warehouse, you will need to create one now.
False: An active warehouse is not always required to run a COPY INTO statement in Snowflake. Here's why: The COPY INTO statement is used to load data from external locations (stages) into Snowflake tables. While virtual warehouses provide the compute resources for processing queries within Snowflake, the COPY INTO operation itself is a data movement process.
COPY INTO table basically rights data into Micro Partition. To access the micro partition it requires a active warehouse to pass thru right. To access the storage it should pass thru the warehouse. it should be active. even if its suspended, upon receiving a Query the warehouse will resume and come into active to execute the query.

Answer is A. Execute COPY INTO <table> to load your staged data into the target table. Note that this command requires an active, running warehouse. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/getting-started-tutorial-copy-into.html
A.True,while loading the data,an active warehouse is required
A is correct
Should be false B: False. A COPY INTO statement in Snowflake does not require an active warehouse to run. The statement is used to load data into a Snowflake table from a file stored in a cloud-based object storage such as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, or Google Cloud Storage. An active warehouse is only required to perform computationally-intensive tasks such as data processing, querying, and data transformation.

A is correct
Answer is B
Corrected = A is Answer
I think it is false
Correct answer Link below states that you need an active, running warehouse to before COPY INTO functions https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/getting-started-tutorial-copy-into.html
