Top 10 Ultimate Snowflake Challenges Hands-On (The Course)
Course Info
This course includes 100 attempts.
Top 10 Ultimate Snowflake Challenges Hands-On is an exciting collection of hidden gems for Snowflake, presented in an original manner. The live interactive version of this book has been implemented as an Udemy video course as well. And I also have an e-book published as well.
I’ll challenge you here with questions in 10 different Snowflake areas that I found being exciting over the years. I will provide hands-on solutions in either SQL or Python. You may watch the video at the end of each chapter, or read the text transcript instead.
Each "challenge" will start with a question, after which I may give you some additional explanation and hints. When ready, read my own Answer, starting with the next page. Write me back if you find a better solution (I'm always glad for feedback). A final Conclusion chapter will close the challenge.
In a challenging but funny and engaging way, you’ll learn about time travel in Snowflake, pivot queries, Streamlit apps, Python worksheets, data clean rooms, access policies, and so on...
