* The Query Acceleration Service offloads portions of query processing to shared compute resources to handle larger-than-average queries without impacting virtual warehouse performance.
* This feature is ideal for resource-intensive queries and operates independently of virtual warehouse scaling.

* A stream in Snowflake is used to track changes (inserts, updates, and deletes) to a table. A stream advances its offset (tracking progress) when it is consumed.
* When a stream is used in an INSERT statement, the stream offset advances, as the changes are processed into a target table.
* For example:
INSERT INTO target_table
SELECT * FROM table_stream;
Here, table_stream is a stream object, and using it in the INSERT statement advances the offset.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
* A. SELECT: A SELECT query does not consume the stream or advance its offset.
* C. CREATE: This operation is unrelated to streams.
* D. COPY INTO: This command exports data and does not involve stream offsets.
