What does Snowflake recommend when planning virtual warehouse usage for a data load?
When planning virtual warehouse usage for a data load, Snowflake recommends dedicating a separate warehouse for loading data. This approach helps in optimizing performance by preventing data load operations from impacting the performance of query operations, ensuring efficient and smooth processing for both loading and querying tasks.
