Topic #: 4

Which command will create a schema without Fail-safe and will restrict object owners from passing on access to other users?

Acreate schema EDW.ACCOUNTING WITH MANAGED ACCESS;

Bcreate schema EDW.ACCOUNTING WITH MANAGED ACCESS DATA_RETENTION_TIME_IN_DAYS - 7;

Ccreate TRANSIENT schema EDW.ACCOUNTING WITH MANAGED ACCESS DATA_RETENTION_TIME_IN_DAYS = 1;

Dcreate TRANSIENT schema EDW.ACCOUNTING WITH MANAGED ACCESS DATA_RETENTION_TIME_IN_DAYS = 7;

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

A transient schema in Snowflake is designed without a Fail-safe period, meaning it does not incur additional storage costs once it leaves Time Travel, and it is not protected by Fail-safe in the event of a data loss. The WITH MANAGED ACCESS option ensures that all privilege grants, including future grants on objects within the schema, are managed by the schema owner, thus restricting object owners from passing on access to other users1.

B looks good, but I'm not sure about that 'DATA_RETENTION_TIME_IN_DAYS - 7' part. Feels a little too complicated for my liking.

Hmm, I see your point. But I still think option A) is the best choice because it clearly mentions restricting object owners from passing on access to other users.

I'm going with D because who doesn't love a good 'Transient' schema? It's like a secret agent for your data!

C is the correct answer. The TRANSIENT keyword ensures no fail-safe, and the DATA_RETENTION_TIME_IN_DAYS = 7 restricts object owners from passing on access.
