Snowflake Exam ARA-R01 Topic 2 Question 6 Discussion

The correct answer is B and E because they use the correct syntax and values for the identifier function and the session variables.

The identifier function allows you to use a variable or expression as an identifier (such as a table name or column name) in a SQL statement. It takes a single argument and returns it as an identifier. For example, identifier($tbl_ref) returns EMP_TBL as an identifier.

The session variables are set using the SET command and can be referenced using the $ sign. For example, $var1 returns Name1 as a value.

Option A is incorrect because it uses Stbl_ref and Scol_ref, which are not valid session variables or identifiers. They should be $tbl_ref and $col_ref instead.

Option C is incorrect because it uses identifier<Stbl_ref>, which is not a valid syntax for the identifier function. It should be identifier($tbl_ref) instead.

Option D is incorrect because it uses Cvarl, var2, and var3, which are not valid session variables or values. They should be $var1, $var2, and $var3 instead.Reference:
