[All COF-C02 Questions]

When unloading data, which combination of parameters should be used to differentiate between empty strings and NULL values? (Select TWO).

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C, D

When unloading data in Snowflake, it is essential to differentiate between empty strings and NULL values to preserve data integrity. The parameters FIELD_OPTIONALLY_ENCLOSED_BY and EMPTY_FIELD_AS_NULL are used together to address this:

FIELD_OPTIONALLY_ENCLOSED_BY: This parameter specifies the character used to enclose fields, which can differentiate between empty strings (as enclosed fields) and NULLs.

EMPTY_FIELD_AS_NULL: By setting this parameter, Snowflake interprets empty fields as NULL values when unloading data, ensuring accurate representation of NULLs versus empty strings.

These parameters are crucial when exporting data for systems that need explicit differentiation between NULL and empty string values.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I was thinking B and C might work, but I guess D and E make more sense. Gotta love these tricky data unloading questions, am I right?

I think the correct answer is D and E. Differentiating between empty strings and NULL values is crucial, and those two options seem to address that directly.
