SnowPro Core Certification — Question 180

What is true about sharing data in Snowflake? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The Data Consumer pays for data storage as well as for data computing.
• B. The shared data is copied into the Data Consumer account, so the Consumer can modify it without impacting the base data of the Provider.
• C. A Snowflake account can both provide and consume shared data.
• D. The Provider is charged for compute resources used by the Data Consumer to query the shared data.
• E. The Data Consumer pays only for compute resources to query the shared data.

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

Option C is correct because a Snowflake account can serve dual roles, both providing and consuming shared data. Option E is also accurate as the Data Consumer is only charged for the compute resources used to query the shared data, unlike options A and D, which incorrectly suggest that Providers are charged or that Data Consumers pay for storage too.
