SnowPro Core Certification — Question 256
Which data types does Snowflake support when querying semi-structured data? (Choose two.)
Answer options
- A. VARIANT
- B. VARCHAR
- C. XML
- D. ARRAY
- E. BLOB
Correct answer: A, D
Explanation
The correct choices are VARIANT and ARRAY, as they are specifically designed to handle semi-structured data in Snowflake. VARCHAR is for structured text data, XML is not directly supported as a data type in Snowflake, and BLOB is used for binary data, which does not fit the semi-structured category.
