Snowflake COF-R02 Exam - Topic 3 Question 45 Discussion

How would a user execute a series of SQL statements using a task?
D) Create a task for each SQL statement (e.g. resulting in task1, task2, etc.) and string the series of SQL statements by having a control task calling task1, task2, etc. sequentially.
A) Include the SQL statements in the body of the task CREATE TASK mytask .. AS INSERT INTO target1 SELECT .. FROM stream_s1 WHERE .. INSERT INTO target2 SELECT .. FROM stream_s1 WHERE ..
B) A stored procedure can have only one DML statement per stored procedure invocation and therefore the user should sequence stored procedure calls in the task definition CREATE TASK mytask .... AS call stored_proc1(); call stored_proc2();
C) Use a stored procedure executing multiple SQL statements and invoke the stored procedure from the task. CREATE TASK mytask .... AS call stored_proc_multiple_statements_inside();

Wait, can a stored procedure really only have one DML statement? That sounds limiting.

I’m not convinced about creating separate tasks for each statement as in option D. It feels overly complicated, but I guess it could work if needed.

I feel like using a stored procedure to handle multiple SQL statements is a solid choice, like option C suggests. That seems familiar from our practice sessions.

I remember something about stored procedures being limited to one DML statement, so maybe we should look at option B more closely.

I think we can include multiple SQL statements directly in the task definition, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best approach.

I like the idea of using a stored procedure in option C. That way, I can keep my task definition clean and modular, and easily maintain the SQL logic in the stored procedure. I think that's the best approach for this type of question.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the different options here. I'm not sure if I should be including the SQL statements directly in the task definition or using stored procedures. I'll need to review the details more carefully.

This looks like a straightforward SQL task question. I think I'll go with option C - using a stored procedure to execute multiple SQL statements and then invoking that stored procedure from the task.

Is option A for real? Embedding SQL statements directly in the task body? That's like trying to write a novel in the margins of a postage stamp.
