SnowPro Core Exam - Question 18


True or False: Reader Accounts incur no additional Compute costs to the Data Provider since they are simply reading the shared data without making changes.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

Reader Accounts do incur additional Compute costs to the Data Provider since the compute resources used by these accounts are charged to the provider account. This is because the reader account is created, owned, and managed by the provider, which assumes all responsibility for any credit charges incurred by users in the reader account. Therefore, while the reader accounts only consume data from the provider account and do not make changes, they still use compute resources that result in additional costs for the Data Provider.

"A" is correct https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/data-sharing-reader-create.html The reader account is created, owned, and managed by the provider account, which assumes all responsibility for credit charges incurred by users in the reader account.

So "B" is correct, because the provider account is expected "to assume all responsibility for credit charges incurrent by users of the reader account". The fact that this sentence is there shows that additional charges are a possibility for the provider.

Answer is B, if you reading the data from reader account no charges applies here but if you are sharing the data what you read then charges applies.

https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/data-sharing-reader-create The reader account is created, owned, and managed by the provider account, which assumes all responsibility for credit charges incurred by users in the reader account. Similar to standard consumer accounts, the provider account uses shares to share databases with reader accounts; however, a reader account can only consume data from the provider account that created it. Warehouses in a reader account can consume an unlimited number of credits each month, which will be charged to your provider account. To limit usage, set up a resource monitor for the warehouse.

The readers accounts usage cost applies to data provider

False, because for compute the provider will be charged

Reader accounts enable providers to share data with consumers who are not currently Snowflake customers, and without requiring they become Snowflake customers. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/ui-snowsight-private-sharing-reader-accounts.html

B is the Answer Warehouses in a reader account can consume an unlimited number of credits each month, which will be charged to your provider account. To limit the usage, please setup a resource monitor for the warehouse. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/data-sharing-reader-create

the answer is True According to "The reader account is created, owned, and managed by the provider account, which assumes all responsibility for credit charges incurred by users in the reader account. Similar to standard consumer accounts, the provider account uses shares to share databases with reader accounts; however, a reader account can only consume data from the provider account that created it: "

The question is if the reader account does not incur additional charges to the data provider, which is false. Based from this statement "The reader account is created, owned, and managed by the provider account, which assumes all responsibility for credit charges incurred by users in the reader account." the provider account is responsible for any charges incurred by user in reader account, thus, there can be charges (which can be done by a user in a reader account) and the amount will be incurred on the one who created the reader account / the data provider

False. While Reader Accounts in Snowflake do allow consumers to access and query shared data, the Data Provider assumes all responsibility for credit charges incurred by users in the Reader Account. This includes compute costs associated with executing queries12. So, even though the consumers are just reading the shared data, the compute resources they use for this purpose do result in additional costs for the Data Provider

A reader account enables data consumers to access and query data shared by the provider of the account, with no setup or usage costs for the consumer.

SalihAlicOption: A

Should be A, right ? The data provider is going to be charged for storage consumption, and the consumer account will only get billed for the compute resource used to query shared data.

You are right , so data provider should pay! So once the reader account run a query it incurs additional cost for data provider!
