True or False: The COPY command must specify a File Format in order to execute.
True or False: The COPY command must specify a File Format in order to execute.
The COPY command in Snowflake does not necessarily require specifying a File Format in order to execute. It can automatically infer the file format based on the file's extension or internal structure. If needed, the file format can be specified explicitly for more control, but it is not mandatory.
The correct answer is FALSE. The file format can be defined at the stage, table, or copy into command. Create Stage: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/create-stage.html Create Table (STAGE_FILE_FORMAT option): https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/create-table.html Copy Into: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/copy-into-table.html
False. In Snowflake, the COPY command does not necessarily require specifying a File Format in order to execute. The COPY command can be used to load data into a table from various file formats such as CSV, JSON, Avro, Parquet, etc. When a file format is not explicitly specified in the COPY command, Snowflake attempts to automatically infer the file format based on the file's extension or internal file structure. This automatic file format inference feature is known as "automatic file format detection." However, if the file format cannot be determined automatically or if you want to override the automatic detection, you can explicitly specify a File Format in the COPY command using the FILE_FORMAT parameter. So, while specifying a File Format can provide more control and customization over the data loading process, it is not mandatory for the COPY command to execute successfully.
Answer is False. If file format is not mentioned then file will be compressed as gz with default type csv.
The answer is FALSE. According to snowflake documentation, FILE FORMAT is an optional parameter. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/copy-into-table#required-parameters
Who is curating these Questions / Answers ? A lot of them are wrong and lots of discussions have 3..6months age and nobody updated it!!!
File format is optional parameter . So answer is False https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/copy-into-table.html#required-parameters
Correct is False, the reference for the "correct" is not an official Snowflake's documentation
FILE_FORMAT parameter is defined as an optional parameter in snowflake documentation: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/copy-into-table#optional-parameters
A.The COPY command must specify a File Format in order to execute
Answer is False
the answer is false
The correct answer is false!
We can provide the file format in copy command but it is optional, not mandatory. In that case we can integrate file format into stage.
Not mandatory to have format
Copy Into: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/copy-into-table.html
https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/copy-into-table.html
Its not mendatory. Answer is B
B is True
False is correct answer
B, as you can provide file format at multiple layer...either question is incomplete or B is correct option.
If a File Format is not specified, Snowflake will use the default format options. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/copy-into-table
A is correct
Answer is B as it optional to provide in here as we can provide it later part also at stage or table level.
Correct Answer is B. Specifying FILE Format is not pre-requisite. see below Copy command e.g -- S3 bucket COPY INTO mytable FROM 's3://mybucket/./../a.csv'; -- Google Cloud Storage bucket COPY INTO mytable FROM 'gcs://mybucket/./../a.csv'; -- Azure container COPY INTO mytable FROM 'azure://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/./../a.csv';
The answer is FALSE. According to snowflake documentation, FILE FORMAT is an optional parameter. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/copy-into-table#required-parameters
file format is nor mandatory
B is correct
A.True
True-A
In the COPY command, the File_Format is not mandatory. With the Internal Named Stage you can specify file_format during creation of the stage
It is optional
correct answer:B
A.True
False, it's possible but not neccesary.
It is not mandatory to specify a FILE FORMAT for COPY operations. While it is not mandatory a FILE FORMAT should always be created for COPY into <table> operations and file unloading and COPY into <location> operations. Automatic inference should only be used with small sets of data and for testing or low importance data.
No need to specify a File
FALSE FALSE
File format is not necessary
