Curious about Actual Snowflake SnowPro Certification (ARA-R01) Exam Questions?

Correct : B

This command will fail because while the user has USAGE permission on db2 and schema2 through Role B, and can create a view in schema2, they do not have SELECT permission on db1.schemal.table1 with Role B. Since Role A, which has SELECT permission on db1.schemal.table1, is not the currently active role when the view v2 is being created in db2.schema2, the user does not have the necessary permissions to read from db1.schemal.table1 to create the view. Snowflake's security model requires that the active role have all necessary permissions to execute the command.

Correct : A, D

A. The Snowflake SQL REST API does support the use of a GET command, which can be used to retrieve the status of a previously submitted query or to fetch the results of a query once it has been executed. D. The use of a CALL command to a stored procedure is supported, which can return a result set, including a table. This allows the invocation of stored procedures within Snowflake through the SQL REST API.

Correct : A

Transient databases in Snowflake are designed for situations where data retention is not critical, and they do not have the fail-safe period that regular databases have. This means that data in a transient database is not recoverable after the Time Travel retention period. Using a transient database is efficient because it minimizes storage costs while still providing most functionalities of a standard database without the overhead of data protection features that are not needed when data retention is not a concern.

Correct : A, C

Data Vault 2.0 on Snowflake supports the HASH_DIFF concept for change data capture, which is a method to detect changes in the data by comparing the hash values of the records. Additionally, Snowflake's multi-table insert feature allows for the loading of multiple PIT tables in parallel from a single join query, which can significantly streamline the data loading process and improve performance1.

Correct : D

In the scenario described, where a third data domain needs access to two existing data products in a Snowflake account structured according to Data Mesh principles, the best approach is to utilize Snowflake's Data Exchange functionality. Option D is correct as it facilitates the sharing and governance of data across different domains efficiently and securely. Data Exchange allows domains to publish and subscribe to live data products, enabling real-time data collaboration and access management in a governed manner. This approach is in line with Data Mesh principles, which advocate for decentralized data ownership and architecture, enhancing agility and scalability across the organization. Reference:
