SnowPro Core Exam - Question 84


True or False: Some queries can be answered through the metadata cache and do not require an active Virtual Warehouse.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

True. Certain queries, particularly those that can be resolved using metadata, do not require an active Virtual Warehouse. This is because the metadata cache, which resides in the Cloud Services Layer, can provide the necessary information without needing to spin up compute resources.

Since Metadata cache and the Query Result cache are part of the Cloud Services Layer, they can run without the need of an active virtual warehouse

Metadata queries can be done as metadata is stored in the services layer and does not require the compute layer to spin up a vm to access the storage layer.
