SnowPro Core Certification — Question 742

Which kind of Snowflake table stores file-level metadata for each file in a stage?

Answer options

• A. Directory
• B. External
• C. Temporary
• D. Transient

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as a Directory table in Snowflake is specifically designed to hold file-level metadata for each file in a stage. The other options, such as External, Temporary, and Transient tables, serve different purposes and do not provide the same file-level metadata functionality.
