SnowPro Advanced: Architect — Question 6

A healthcare company wants to share data with a medical institute. The institute is running a Standard edition of Snowflake; the healthcare company is running a Business Critical edition.
How can this data be shared?

Answer options

• A. The healthcare company will need to change the institute’s Snowflake edition in the accounts panel.
• B. By default, sharing is supported from a Business Critical Snowflake edition to a Standard edition.
• C. Contact Snowflake and they will execute the share request for the healthcare company.
• D. Set the share_restriction parameter on the shared object to false.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because setting the share_restriction parameter to false allows data sharing to occur between different Snowflake editions. Option A is incorrect as changing the edition is not necessary for sharing. Option B is misleading since sharing is not inherently supported without proper configuration. Option C is incorrect as contacting Snowflake is not a requirement to facilitate sharing.
