A cache is a storage space designed to store data so that future requests for the same data can be delivered faster. Snowflake comes with a cache component to store data cache, and result cache to enhance SQL query performance. In Snowflake the cache files are stored at three levels such as Result cache, Local disk cache, and Remote disk.

Concepts:

  • Introduction to Snowflake Caching
  • Cache types in Snowflake
  • Caching demo with examples

  • The architecture of Micro - partitioning
  • Benefits of Micro - partitioning
  • Query processing in Snowflake
  • Lab - exercises

Clustering is a method for identifying similar groups of data in a dataset and dividing them into small clusters. Snowflake comes with auto clustering features and enhances query performance.

Concepts:

  • Introduction to Snowflake Clustering
  • Clustering process
  • Advantages of clustering
  • Clustering performance tuning

AWS S3 (Simple Storage Service) is an object storage type offered by Amazon. It allows all types of industries to virtually store their data and use it for multiple business use cases. AWS S3 is easy to scale, secured, and offers high performance. Snowflake uses AWS S3 as an external stage to get the required data and store it in a table format.

Concepts:

  • AWS Overview
  • AWS account creation
  • S3 bucket creation
  • AWS Policy & Role
  • AWS Snowflake integration
  • Data loading into AWS S3 using AWS CLI

Snowflake stores all the data in database tables. A typical table contains columns and rows and comes with advanced features to retrieve and manage data stored in Snowflake tables. Snowflake offers three different types of tables to meet certain requirements which include Transient, Temporary, & Permanent tables.

Concepts:

  • Permanent Table
  • Temporary table
  • Transient table
  • Transient database

In Snowflake we can perform bulk and continuous data loading operations using Snowpipe from two different stages which include external stages ( Cloud storage) and Internal stages (Snowflake Account). Data exporting or unloading is similar to Data loading in Snowflake.

Concepts:

  • Introduction to Data migration
  • Overview of Data loading
  • Overview of Data un-loading
  • Considerations for data loading
  • Considerations for data unloading
  • Bulk data loading/ unloading to/from S3
  • Bulk data loading/ unloading to/from Local file system
  • Bulk data loading/ unloading to/from Azure
  • Consistent data loading using Snowpipe
  • Data loading through a web interface
  • Querying data from Staged files
  • Querying Metadata for Staged files
  • Troubleshooting issues with bulk data loading
  • Data transform during a load
  • Real-time scenarios to show you data loading & unloading

In order to load data into Snowflake, the files must be in a staged location. The staged location may be an internal or external stage.

Concepts:

  • Data validation prior to loading to a table
  • Collecting rejected records
  • Purge option
  • Force Copy option
  • Lab- preparing and loading data
