Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

This option will meet the requirements of creating a new development database (DEV) as a clone of the permanent production database (PROD) and disabling Fail-safe for all tables. By using the CREATE TRANSIENT DATABASE command, the Data Engineer can create a transient database that does not have Fail-safe enabled by default. Fail-safe is a feature in Snowflake that provides additional protection against data loss by retaining historical data for seven days beyond the time travel retention period. Transient databases do not have Fail-safe enabled, which means that they do not incur additional storage costs for historical data beyond their time travel retention period. By using the CLONE option, the Data Engineer can create an exact copy of the PROD database, including its schemas, tables, views, and other objects.

I disagree with you I believe the correct answer is A. We need to disable Fail-safe for all tables as well.

I think the answer is B. We just need to clone the production database to create the development database.

Haha, I bet one of the answers is just 'CREATE DATABASE DEV CLONE PROD' and doesn't mention Fail-safe at all. Classic trick question!

Good point. Maybe there's a specific use case where the engineers want more control over the data retention policies in the development environment.

Wait, I'm a little confused. Isn't Fail-safe a feature to protect against data loss? Why would we want to disable that?

Ah, I see. So we need to clone the production database and then disable Fail-safe. That makes sense.

Hmm, I think I've seen this kind of question before. The key here is to look for the option that specifically mentions disabling Fail-safe.

This is a tricky question. I'm not sure if I can recall the exact syntax for disabling Fail-safe on all tables when creating a cloned database. Let me think through this step-by-step.
