Which command will meet these requirements?

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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.

B is the clear winner here. Keep it simple, create the dev database as a clone of the production database, and let Snowflake handle the fail-safe settings. No need to get fancy.

Haha, I love how option D includes 'CLOSE PROD' instead of 'CLONE PROD'. Looks like someone had a little too much coffee before writing this exam.

D looks like it might work, but setting the data retention time to zero days seems a bit extreme. Don't we want to keep some historical data in the dev environment?

A) I think we should go with A) CREATE DATABASE DEV CLONE PROD; and keep some historical data for reference in the dev environment.

Hmm, I'm not sure about the spelling on option C. 'RPOD' instead of 'PROD'? Seems a bit suspicious to me.

Option A looks good to me. Disabling Fail-safe for all tables is the requirement, and this command does that.
