Snowflake Training
Snowflake is cloud based data warehouse and analytical tool. With so many SAAS based Data warehouse applications available currently that are competing against one another, Snowflake stands out among the crowd for it uniqueness in design and approach. Snowflake works on an application that is faster and easier to handle. Unlike other data warehouse systems Snowflake is not built on Big data platforms rather it works on new SQL engine that is best suited for cloud.

Course Description
Snowflake is cloud based data warehouse and analytical tool. With so many SAAS based Data warehouse applications available currently that are competing against one another, Snowflake stands out among the crowd for it uniqueness in design and approach. Snowflake works on an application that is faster and easier to handle. Unlike other data warehouse systems Snowflake is not built on Big data platforms rather it works on new SQL engine that is best suited for cloud. Having one of the best ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability) complaint solutions. One of the USPs of Snowflake’s unique capabilities is in its table structures wherein Micro–Partitions and Data–Clustering are adopted Snowflake allows user to “time travel” i.e., track data changes overtime and view changes made anytime in the past up to a 90–days Some of the other features of Snowflake are
- Cloning – the clone feature create instant copy of any snowflake object
- Undrop – any dropped object (Databases, schemas, tables etc) can be undroped
- Fail safe – In the event of any disaster like hardware or disk failures. Snowflake engineers can recover the data upto a 7 day period post failure
Analytics Solution – Snowflake architecture helps in dealing with data and analytics alongside with data warehousing capabilites
Things You Will Learn
Snowflake is an analytic data warehouse provided as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Snowflake provides a data warehouse that is faster, easier to use, and far more flexible than traditional data warehouse offerings.
Snowflake’s data warehouse is not built on an existing database or “big data” software platform such as Hadoop. The Snowflake data warehouse uses a new SQL database engine with a unique architecture designed for the cloud. To the user, Snowflake has many similarities to other enterprise data warehouses, but also has additional functionality and unique capabilities.
Snowflake’s data warehouse is a true SaaS offering. 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. All components of Snowflake’s service (other than an optional command line client), run in a public cloud infrastructure.
Snowflake uses virtual compute instances for its compute needs and a storage service for persistent storage of data. Snowflake cannot be run on private cloud infrastructures (on-premises or hosted).
Snowflake is not a packaged software offering that can be installed by a user. Snowflake manages all aspects of software installation and updates.
