Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, E, F

* Option A is correct because the ALTER DATABASE ... ENABLE REPLICATION TO ACCOUNTS command must be issued from the primary account that owns the database to be replicated1.

* Option B is incorrect because users must be granted REPLICATIONGRANTER privileges in order to enable replication1.

* Option C is incorrect because to start replication, the ALTER DATABASE ... REFRESH command must be run on the primary database, not the secondary database1.

* Option D is incorrect because replication can occur across different cloud providers, as well as across regions2.

* Option E is correct because databases created from shares can be replicated, as long as the share is active and the database is not dropped or altered1.

* Option F is correct because users can have unlimited primary databases and they can be replicated to an unlimited number of accounts if all accounts are within the same organization1.

Wait, so Snowflake replication is like a game of musical chairs, where the databases have to keep moving from one account to another to avoid getting left out in the cold? Sounds like a real winter wonderland!

F is definitely a trap answer. I've never heard of unlimited primary databases in Snowflake - that sounds like a snowball's chance in hell!

Hmm, I'm not sure about C. Isn't the REFRESH command used to update the replicated data, not start the replication process? But the other three choices make sense.

D is definitely not correct. Snowflake replication can cross cloud provider boundaries, that's one of the key features. The rest seem spot on though.

A, B, and E. Sounds like the classic Snowflake replication setup to me. Though I'm a bit curious about the unlimited primary databases claim - must be a typo or a joke, right?
