SnowPro Core Certification — Question 630

In which Snowflake layer does Snowflake reorganize data into its internal optimized, compressed, columnar format?

Answer options

• A. Cloud Services
• B. Database Storage
• C. Query Processing
• D. Metadata Management

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Database Storage, as this layer is specifically designed to optimize and compress data in a columnar format for efficient storage and retrieval. The other options refer to different functions within Snowflake; Cloud Services manages user requests, Query Processing handles execution of SQL queries, and Metadata Management deals with data structure and organization, but none are responsible for data reorganization into the internal format.
