Actual exam question for Snowflake's ARA-R01 exam

Question #: 19
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.

Not sure if managed access is enough to restrict object owners.

Definitely A, managed access is key here.

Wait, is there really a difference between transient and regular schemas?

I feel like "TRANSIENT" is definitely the right choice, but I can't remember if it should be 1 or 7 days for the retention.

I'm leaning towards option C, but I can't recall if the data retention time should be 1 or 7 days.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think "WITH MANAGED ACCESS" is key for restricting object owners.

I think the command needs to include "TRANSIENT" to avoid Fail-safe, but I'm not sure about the data retention part.

I feel good about this one. Option D seems to match the requirements - it creates a TRANSIENT schema with MANAGED ACCESS and a data retention time of 7 days, which should meet the criteria of no Fail-safe and restricted object owner access.

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. What exactly is "Fail-safe" and how do I know which option doesn't include it? I'll need to review the SQL syntax more carefully.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is the "WITH MANAGED ACCESS" clause, which restricts object owners from passing on access to other users. I'm pretty confident option A is the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question is asking for a command that creates a schema without Fail-safe, but I'm not sure which of these options does that. I'll need to double-check the details.

This looks like a straightforward SQL question about creating a schema with specific properties. I'll need to carefully read through the options and think about which one best matches the requirements.

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.
