0000003615 00000 n The Snowflake Information Schema (aka “Data Dictionary”) consists of a set of system-defined views and table functions that provide extensive metadata information about the objects created in your account. They were designed in a time when data was simpler, and the number of people in an organization with the need or desire to access the database were few. Requirements: Good to have prior data warehouse experience, but not mandatory. 0000004524 00000 n Snowflake provides a data warehouse that is faster, easier to use, and far more flexible than traditional data warehouse offerings.Snowflakeâs data warehouse is not built on an existing database or âbig dataâ software platform such as Hadoop.
Build highly scalable, high performance next-gen modern data warehouse for you company. As a result, each virtual warehouse has no impact on the performance of other virtual warehouses.The cloud services layer is a collection of services that coordinate activities across Snowflake. 0000019826 00000 n More specifically:There is no hardware (virtual or physical) for you to select, install, configure, or manage.There is no software for you to install, configure, or manage.Ongoing maintenance, management, and tuning is handled by Snowflake.Snowflake runs completely on cloud infrastructure.
The Snowflake data warehouse uses a new SQL database engine with a unique architecture designed for the cloud. Each virtual warehouse is an MPP compute cluster composed of multiple compute nodes allocated by Snowflake from a cloud provider.Each virtual warehouse is an independent compute cluster that does not share compute resources with other virtual warehouses. Snowflake processes queries using âvirtual warehousesâ. �R=����/H�h�Ϙ�!�Ħ2n�r�AG�����WNY��{�zN��ۻ�y9&�r;�f�՜ܖvu��6No/�x�n Snowflake stores this optimized data in cloud storage.Snowflake manages all aspects of how this data is stored â the organization, file size, structure, compression, metadata, statistics, and other aspects of data storage are handled by Snowflake. 0000002531 00000 n hosted).Snowflake is not a packaged software offering that can be installed by a user.
