SnowPro Core Certification — Question 562

A Snowflake user wants to share data with someone who does not have a Snowflake account.

How can the Snowflake user share the data?

Answer options

• A. Use the Snowflake Marketplace.
• B. Create a reader account.
• C. Create a consumer account.
• D. Use a Snowflake share.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Creating a reader account allows the Snowflake user to share data with external users who do not have their own Snowflake account. The other options do not provide a viable method for sharing data with non-account holders: the Snowflake Marketplace is for purchasing and selling data, a consumer account is not applicable in this context, and a Snowflake share is typically meant for users with Snowflake accounts.
