Snowflake Practice Questions - SnowPro Core Certified
Description
The course contains a series of practice tests to help prepare you for the SnowPro Core Certified exam.
If, like me you come from the database background you’ll find using a product like Snowflake a real breath of fresh air. Easy to use, fast, agile, and packed with great features, it removes a lot of the tedious administrational tasks you tend to associate with pretty much every other database. It’s no wonder why it’s had the level of success it has and its great fun to use. I hope you find this content helpful.
The sheer simplicity of the Snowflake means it is straightforward to getting up and running. This also means a lot of users don’t move past the basics, because they never need to. For everyday workloads Snowflake runs out of the box and if queries start to take a little longer, well, you can always scale up at the touch of a button!
The questions contained in these practice tests cover the follow subject areas:
Snowflake Overview and Architecture
Snowflake Virtual Warehouses
Snowflake Storage and Protection
Data Movement (Loading & Unloading)
Snowflake Account, Security and Sharing
Snowflake Performance and Tuning
Working with Semi-Structured Data
Streams & Tasks
The exam does not cover cloud fundamentals or basics of SQL syntax, but some questions on the exam assume knowledge of these concepts. It's worthwhile brushing up on some of these areas if your not familiar with them.
This guide does not guarantee success but forms part of your preparation to succeed.
Who this course is for:
- This course is for data engineers, data analysts, data scientists or data architects who are either just starting out with Snowflake, or have some practical experience and want to back this up with a professional certification.
