SnowPro Core Certification — Question 1146
When sharing data among multiple Snowflake accounts, what charges are incurred by a data consumer when viewing shared data using their own account?
Answer options
- A. Cloud services charges
- B. Compute charges
- C. Data storage charges
- D. Data egress charges
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B, as compute charges are incurred when the data consumer queries the shared data. The other options are not applicable in this scenario; cloud services charges are generally associated with services rather than data access, data storage charges relate to the storage of data rather than its use, and data egress charges pertain to moving data out of a cloud provider's network, which is not relevant to simply viewing shared data.
