An explain plan is beneficial because it allows for the evaluation of how a query will be processed without the need to actually execute the query. This can help in understanding the query's performance implications and potential bottlenecks without consuming resources that would be used if the query were run

In the Snowflake Data Exchange, the ability to get or request data from listings is generally controlled by specific roles and privileges:
* A. Users with ACCOUNTADMIN role: This role typically has the highest level of access within a Snowflake account, including the ability to manage and access all features and functions. Users with this role can access data listings within the Data Exchange.
* D. Users with import share privilege: This specific privilege is necessary for users who need to import shared data from the Data Exchange. This privilege allows them to request and access data listings explicitly shared with them.

* In Snowsight, result sets are limited to 50 MB per file when downloading directly. If the query returns a result larger than this size (e.g., 1 GB), the download will fail unless the result is broken into smaller files.
* To handle large result sets:
* Use Snowflake's unloading feature (COPY INTO <location>) to export data into cloud storage.
* Or use SnowSQL to download results programmatically.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
* A. Successfully downloaded: Snowsight does not support downloads of files larger than 50 MB.
* B. Automatically compressed: Compression does not automatically split the file.
* D. Error due to query filters: The issue is related to file size, not query filters.

* A Snowflake account hostname is a combination of the cloud region and the account name.
* The hostname follows this structure:https://<account_name>.<cloud_region>.snowflakecomputing.com.
* Examples:
* Account Name: mycompany
* Cloud Region: aws-us-east-1
