Question 219

What is true about sharing data in Snowflake? (Choose two.)

    Correct Answer: C, E

    A Snowflake account is capable of both providing and consuming shared data. Data sharing in Snowflake does not involve copying data into the consumer's account. Instead, the consumer accesses the shared data directly from the provider's account. Therefore, the data consumer is charged only for the compute resources used to query the shared data, not for the storage of the data.

The answer key (B and E) given is again wrong per the below Snowflake user-guide. The correct answer should be C and E as per popular vote. With Secure Data Sharing, no actual data is copied or transferred between accounts. All sharing uses Snowflake’s services layer and metadata store. Shared data does not take up any storage in a consumer account and therefore does not contribute to the consumer’s monthly data storage charges. The only charges to consumers are for the compute resources (i.e. virtual warehouses) used to query the shared data. (https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/data-sharing-intro.html)

Admins need to do something about so many objectively wrong answers. It's a bit frustrating especially when paying for these courses.
