 In Snowflake’s architecture, the Cloud Services layer is responsible for generating the query execution plan. This layer handles all the coordination, optimization, and management tasks, including query parsing, optimization, and compilation into an execution plan that can be processed by the Compute layer.

 Dynamic data masking is a feature in Snowflake that allows administrators to define masking policies to protect sensitive data. It enables partial visibility of the data to certain roles, such as functional managers, while hiding it from others, like end users

Snowflake recommends file sizes between 100-250 MB compressed when loading data to optimize parallel processing. Smaller, compressed files can be loaded in parallel, which maximizes the efficiency of the virtual warehouses and speeds up the data loading process

 Snowflake supports unloading data in JSON and delimited file formats such as CSV and TSV. These formats are commonly used for data interchange and are supported by Snowflake for unloading operations

The PUT command is used to load data files into a Snowflake stage. This command uploads data files from a local filesystem to a specified stage in Snowflake

 When a pipe is recreated using the CREATE OR REPLACE PIPE command, the load history of the pipe is reset. This means that Snowpipe will consider all files in the stage as new and will attempt to load them, evenif they were loaded previously by the old pipe2.

The default file size when unloading data from Snowflake using the COPY command is not explicitly stated in the provided resources. However, Snowflake documentation suggests that the file size can be specified using the MAX_FILE_SIZE option in the COPY INTO <location> command2.

The UNDROP command in Snowflake can be used to directly restore Views and Tables. These objects, when dropped, are moved to a ‘Recycle Bin’ where they can be restored within a time limit before they are permanently deleted. References: [COF-C02] SnowPro Core Certification Exam Study Guide
