SnowPro Advanced: Data Engineer — Question 29

Which stages support external tables?

Answer options

• A. Internal stages only; within a single Snowflake account
• B. Internal stages only; from any Snowflake account in the organization
• C. External stages only; from any region, and any cloud provider
• D. External stages only; only on the same region and cloud provider as the Snowflake account

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because external stages are designed to work with data from any region and any cloud provider, offering greater flexibility. Options A and B are incorrect as they only refer to internal stages, which do not support external tables. Option D is also wrong because it incorrectly limits external stages to a specific region and cloud provider.
