SnowPro Core Certification — Question 1228

How should a Snowflake user access a third-party SaaS service to process unstructured data?

Answer options

• A. Use internal functions.
• B. Use external functions.
• C. Use process functions.
• D. Use an API gateway.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as external functions allow Snowflake to call out to third-party services for processing unstructured data. Options A and C refer to internal mechanisms within Snowflake, which do not facilitate third-party interactions. Option D, while relevant for API interactions, does not directly pertain to the processing of unstructured data in this context.
