A company is trying to Ingest 10 TB of CSV data into a Snowflake table using Snowpipe as part of Its migration from a legacy database platform. The records need to be ingested in the MOST performant and cost-effective way.

How can these requirements be met?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

For ingesting a large volume of CSV data into Snowflake using Snowpipe, especially for a substantial amount like 10 TB, the on error = SKIP_FILE option in the COPY INTO command can be highly effective. This approach allows Snowpipe to skip over files that cause errors during the ingestion process, thereby not halting or significantly slowing down the overall data load. It helps in maintaining performance and cost-effectiveness by avoiding the reprocessing of problematic files and continuing with the ingestion of other data.

Surprised that B) is even an option, why would you want to purge?

I vaguely remember that using FURGE = FALSE might be the default, but I'm not clear on how it impacts the overall ingestion process.

I practiced a similar question where we had to decide on error handling options, and I feel like SKIP_FILE could be a safer choice for large data sets.

I think using PURGE = TRUE might help with storage costs, but I can't recall if it affects performance during ingestion.

I remember we discussed the importance of error handling in Snowpipe, but I'm not sure if ON_ERROR = continue is the best option for this scenario.
