SnowPro Core Exam - Question 199


Which of the following is an example of an operation that can be completed without requiring compute, assuming no queries have been executed previously?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B,C

The correct answer is 'SELECT MIN(ORDER_AMT) FROM SALES;'. Calculating the minimum value does not necessarily require compute if the minimum value is already stored in the metadata. Metadata can contain precomputed statistics such as min and max values which can be retrieved without scanning the table's data, thus avoiding the need for compute resources. In contrast, operations like SUM, AVG, and multiplication require scanning all relevant rows and performing calculations.

Average and Sum functions will need compute while min function can execute from cloud services layer

MIN , MAX is ideal for this case

I believe it's C, since once the METADATA stores it, it will know what's the DETERMINISTIC value without having to perform any calculation as suggested by A and B or run over all micro-partitions as it would occur in D.
