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.

I'm not sure, but I think C) TRANSACTIONS _STM will be automatically renamed TRANSACTIONS _RAW_STM. Snowflake might handle the renaming automatically.

I disagree, I believe the correct answer is D) Reading from the transactiok3_raw stream will succeed for some time after the expected STALE_TIME. It will still work for a while.

I think the answer is B) TRANSACTIONS _STM will be stale and will need to be re-created. The name change will affect it.
