SnowPro Advanced Architect Exam - Question 17


How do Snowflake databases that are created from shares differ from standard databases that are not created from shares? (Choose three.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: ACD

Shared databases are read-only, meaning users can view and query data but cannot insert, update, or create objects within the database. These databases also cannot be cloned, which is a key difference from standard databases. Additionally, shared databases do not support Time Travel, a feature that allows for access to historical data. These three characteristics distinctly differentiate shared databases from standard databases in Snowflake.

Answer is A,D,E and is validated Explanation Shared databases are read-only. Users in a consumer account can view/query data, but cannot insert or update data, or create any objects in the database. The following actions are not supported: Creating a clone of a shared database or any schemas/tables in the database. Time Travel for a shared database or any schemas/tables in the database. Editing the comments for a shared database. Databases created from shares differ from standard databases in the following ways: They do not have the PUBLIC or INFORMATION_SCHEMA schemas unless these schemas were explicitly granted to the share. They cannot be cloned. Properties, such as TRANSIENT and DATA_RETENTION_TIME_IN_DAYS, do not apply.

https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/create-database#general-usage-notes ACD * Databases created from shares differ from standard databases in the following ways: * They do not have the PUBLIC or INFORMATION_SCHEMA schemas unless these schemas were explicitly granted to the share. * They cannot be cloned. * Properties, such as TRANSIENT and DATA_RETENTION_TIME_IN_DAYS, do not apply. In question, the statement says: E. Shared databases will have the PUBLIC or INFORMATION_SCHEMA schemas without explicitly granting these schemas to the share. However, the fact mentioned is: They do not have the PUBLIC or INFORMATION_SCHEMA schemas unless these schemas were explicitly granted to the share. E is not correct.
