SnowPro Core Certification — Question 816

Which Snowflake table types are used to manage costs for short-lived tables? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. External tables
• B. Permanent tables
• C. Shared tables
• D. Temporary tables
• E. Transient tables

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

Temporary tables (D) are designed for short-term use and are automatically dropped at the end of the session, while transient tables (E) do not incur storage costs after they are dropped and are a more cost-effective option for short-lived data. The other options, such as permanent tables (B) and shared tables (C), do not provide the same cost management features for ephemeral data.
