Question 16
When maintaining reports and dashboards, why is it essential to build automated and repeatable tasks?
Question 17
You are analyzing website traffic data in Snowflake to identify potential bot activity. You have a table 'WEB EVENTS' with columns 'event_timestamp' (TIMESTAMP NTZ), 'user_id' (VARCHAR), and 'ip_address' (VARCHAR). Which combination of SQL techniques and Snowflake features would be MOST effective in detecting and flagging suspicious bot-like behavior, considering high query performance and scalability?
Question 18
Consider a Snowflake table 'LOG ENTRIES' with a VARIANT column 'LOG DATA' containing log messages with potentially varying structures. Some logs contain error details under the key 'error', while others do not. If 'error' exists, it contains a nested object with 'code' and 'message'. You want to extract the error 'message' when it exists, otherwise return 'No Error'. Which query accomplishes this with optimal performance?
Question 19
Why are Stored Procedures valuable in data analysis using SQL?
Question 20
You are tasked with optimizing a dashboard displaying sales performance across different regions. The dashboard queries a large table called 'SALES DATA, which is partitioned by 'SALE DATE. The dashboard loads very slowly. The data analyst team notices that queries for the dashboard often filter on a specific region and a date range.
