Introduction to Snowflake Warehouses |

SNOWFLAKE VIRTUAL WAREHOUSES A virtual warehouse is a cluster of compute resources

in Snowflake. It is often referred to simply as a “warehouse”.

A warehouse provides the below required resources : CPU Memory Temporary storage
Warehouse perform the following operations in a Snowflake session:

Executing SQL SELECT statements (e.g. Retrieving rows from tables and views).

Performing DML operations, such as: Updating rows in tables (DELETE , INSERT , UPDATE
and MERGE).

Loading data into tables (COPY INTO table_name. Unloading data from tables (COPY INTO

Code: ----------- DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS RAMU; CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS
RAMU; USE RAMU; CREATE TABLE Smiths (Name VARCHAR(100),Father VARCHAR(100) ,
Mother VARCHAR(100));

Insert Into Smiths values ('Roger',NULL,NULL),('My',NULL,NULL),

('Jane','Roger','My'),('Mike',NULL,NULL), ('Matt','Roger','My'),('Jill','Mike','Jane'),
('John','Mike','Jane');

select * from Smiths; select FATHER,MOTHER from Smiths where NAME='John'; with
hellotesting as (select FATHER,MOTHER from Smiths where NAME='John')

select s.Name,s.FATHER as original_father,s.MOTHER as original_mother,p.FATHER as

cte_father,p.MOTHER as cte_mother from Smiths s cross join hellotesting p;

with hellotesting as (select FATHER,MOTHER from Smiths where NAME='Jill') select

s.FATHER,s.MOTHER from Smiths s cross join hellotesting p where (s.Name=p.FATHER or
s.Name=p.MOTHER);

--Multilevel CTE with parents as (select FATHER,MOTHER from Smiths where NAME='Jill'),
grandparents as (select FATHER,MOTHER from Smiths where (NAME =(select FATHER FROM
parents) or NAME=(select MOTHER FROM parents)))

select FATHER,MOTHER from grandparents;

how to execute multiple SQL statements in bulk, using a concatenated select statement and a
stored procedure.

use role accountadmin;

use warehouse compute_wh;

use database demo_db;

use schema public;

create or replace table test1(a number);

create or replace table test2(a number);

insert into test1 values (1); insert into test2 values (2);
select * from test1;

select * from test2;

create or replace view test1_vw as select * from test1;

create or replace view test2_vw as select * from test2; select * from information_schema.tables
where TABLE_SCHEMA = 'PUBLIC' and table_type like '%TABLE' and table_name like 'TEST
