Snowflake Exam DEA-C01 Topic 1 Question 27 Discussion

Actual exam question for Snowflake's DEA-C01 exam

Question #: 27
Topic #: 1

A Data Engineer wants to create a new development database (DEV) as a clone of the permanent production database (PROD) There is a requirement to disable Fail-safe for all tables.

Which command will meet these requirements?

ACREATE DATABASE DEV
CLONE PROD
FAIL_SAFE=FALSE;

BCREATE DATABASE DEV
CLONE PROD;

CCREATE TRANSIENT DATABASE DEV
CLONE RPOD

DCREATE DATABASE DEV
CLOSE PROD
DATA_RETENTION_TIME_IN_DAYS =0L

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

This option will meet the requirements of creating a new development database (DEV) as a clone of the permanent production database (PROD) and disabling Fail-safe for all tables. By using the CREATE TRANSIENT DATABASE command, the Data Engineer can create a transient database that does not have Fail-safe enabled by default. Fail-safe is a feature in Snowflake that provides additional protection against data loss by retaining historical data for seven days beyond the time travel retention period. Transient databases do not have Fail-safe enabled, which means that they do not incur additional storage costs for historical data beyond their time travel retention period. By using the CLONE option, the Data Engineer can create an exact copy of the PROD database, including its schemas, tables, views, and other objects.

Wait, is 'FAIL_SAFE=FALSE' a real thing? I thought it was just a myth, like unicorns or politicians telling the truth.

I bet the engineer who wrote this question is a real comedian, huh? 'CLONE RPOD' - classic!

Option D is way off. 'CLOSE PROD' is not a thing, and 'DATA_RETENTION_TIME_IN_DAYS =0L' is not relevant to the question.

Option D is incorrect. 'CLOSE PROD' and 'DATA_RETENTION_TIME_IN_DAYS =0L' are not relevant.

Option C is clearly wrong. 'CREATE TRANSIENT DATABASE' is not a valid command, and 'CLONE RPOD' is just weird.

But A includes disabling Fail-safe for all tables, which is a requirement.

Option B seems the most straightforward. Why bother with all the extra stuff in option A? Just clone the PROD database and you're good to go.

I'm not sure about option A. Isn't there a typo in the command? It should be 'FAIL_SAFE=FALSE' instead of 'FAIL_SAFE=FALSE;'.
