Getting started with Snowflake
Getting Started with Snowflake: Using the Snowflake Data Platform
Snowflake is a cloud-native, managed data platform for big data
- storage and processing that does not require any hardware or
- software installation, maintenance, or upgrades and can be
- connected to in a variety of ways. In this course, learn how to set
- up a Snowflake free trial account, log into it, and navigate the
- classic Snowflake UI. Next, practice creating and monitoring
- virtual warehouses and executing DDL operations. Finally, discover
- how to create databases and tables, load data into tables,
- instantiate file format objects, and query tables. Upon completion,
- you'll be able to list features and use cases of Snowflake,
- differentiate Snowflake editions, and utilize virtual warehouses
- and databases to separate data and compute.
Getting Started with Snowflake: Queries, Dashboards, & Tables
Scanning an entire table to return output for a single query is
- computationally intensive, so many technologies rely on
- partitioning tables to improve query performance for big data.
- Snowflake implements a form of partitioning known as
- micro-partitioning where all tables are automatically divided into
- micro-partitions that users don't need to manage. In this course,
- explore and execute queries using Snowflake's web interface,
- Snowsight. Next, learn how to create dashboards in Snowsight and
- add various charts. Finally, discover how permanent, temporary, and
- transient tables in Snowflake differ and how such tables can be
- created, used, and cloned. Upon completion, you'll be able to view
- database objects in Snowsight, run queries and build dashboards,
- and differentiate the types of Snowflake tables.
Getting Started with Snowflake: Using Time Travel & the SnowSQL CLI
Data in Snowflake goes through a three-phase lifecycle: current
- data storage, where the data is stored in regular database tables;
- Time Travel, where you can access data from a specific time; and
- Fail-safe, which preserves historical data for a configurable
- retention period. In this course, learn how to use Time Travel to
- access historical data using query ID filters, relative time
- offsets, and absolute timestamp values. Next, practice cloning
- historical copies of tables into current tables and restoring
- dropped tables with the UNDROP command. Finally, discover how to
- install SnowSQL, define and use variables, and spool query results
- to files. Upon completion, you'll be able to utilize Time Travel
- and Fail-safe in Snowflake, configure SnowSQL, define and use
- variables, and utilize SnowSQL features.
Course options
We offer several optional training products to enhance your learning experience. If you are planning to use our training course in preperation for an official exam then whe highly recommend using these optional training products to ensure an optimal learning experience. Sometimes there is only a practice exam or/and practice lab available.
