Snowflake automatically rotates encryption keys when they are more than 30 days old. Active keys are retired, and new keys are created. This process is part of Snowflake's comprehensive security measures to ensure data protection and is managed entirely by the Snowflake service without requiring user intervention.

The Query Profile in Snowflake can identify common query problems, including:
* B. Inefficient pruning: This refers to the inability of a query to effectively limit the amount of data being scanned, potentially leading to suboptimal performance.
* D. Queries too large to fit in memory: This indicates that a query requires more memory than is available in the virtual warehouse, which can lead to spilling to disk and degraded performance.
The Query Profile helps diagnose these issues by providing detailed execution statistics and visualizations, aiding in query optimization and troubleshooting.

In addition to performing all the standard steps to share data, the USAGE privilege must be granted on each database referenced by a secure view in order to be shared. When sharing a database or specific objects like secure views, the receiving account needs to have the USAGE privilege on the database and schema to access the shared data. This privilege enables the receiving account to access the database and its schemas but does not allow for any DML operations. It's a prerequisite for accessing any objects within the database.
For a secure view to be part of a share, not only does the view itself need to be shared, but the underlying database (and schema, if applicable) must also be accessible to the recipients. Granting USAGE privilege on the database ensures that the receiving account can access the database in a read-only mode to utilize the shared view.

The Snowflake Account_Usage.Metering_History view is used to gather the hourly credit usage for an account. This view provides details on the credits consumed by various services within Snowflake for the last 365 days1.
