[All ARA-R01 Questions]

What is the MOST efficient way to design an environment where data retention is not considered critical, and customization needs are to be kept to a minimum?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: 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.

Makes sense. I'll go with the transient table. It’s minimal and specific.

I think a temporary table is for session-specific tasks. Might not be the best fit here.

True, but isn't a transient schema also efficient? It can handle more than one table.

But wouldn't a transient database be more comprehensive? Covers everything, not just a single table.
