SnowPro Core Certification — Question 804

What are reasons for using the VALIDATE function in Snowflake after a COPY INTO command execution? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. To validate the files that have been loaded earlier using the COPY INTO command
• B. To fix errors that were made during the execution of the COPY INTO command
• C. To return errors encountered during the execution of the COPY INTO command
• D. To identify potential issues in the COPY INTO command before it is executed
• E. To count the number of errors encountered during the execution of the COPY INTO command

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The VALIDATE function is used to confirm the integrity of files previously loaded (option A) and to report any errors that occurred during the execution (option C). Options B, D, and E do not accurately describe the purposes of the VALIDATE function, as it does not correct errors, identify potential issues before execution, or count errors encountered.
