SnowPro Advanced Architect Exam - Question 84


Why might a Snowflake Architect use a star schema model rather than a 3NF model when designing a data architecture to run in Snowflake? (Choose two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: DE

A Snowflake Architect might use a star schema model rather than a 3NF model to support the needs of a BI tool that requires summarization and drill-down capabilities across different dimensions. Additionally, using a star schema allows for presenting a simplified, flattened view of the data to a specific group of end users, making it easier for them to understand and use the data for their analysis.
