As a data provider, you might want to share data with a consumer who does not already have a Snowflake account or is not ready to become a licensed Snowflake customer.
To facilitate sharing data with these consumers, you can create reader accounts. Reader accounts (formerly known as “read-only accounts”) provide a quick, easy, and cost-effective way to share data without requiring the consumer to become a Snowflake customer.
The correct answer is:
C. Reader
A Reader Account in Snowflake allows a data provider to securely share data with consumers who do not have their own Snowflake account. This enables the consumer to access and query the shared data without needing to set up or manage a Snowflake account.
Why Not the Other Options?
A. Data provider:
This refers to the Snowflake account or entity sharing the data, not the account type used by the consumer.
B. Data consumer:
This refers to a standard Snowflake account used to consume shared data. It requires the consumer to have their own Snowflake account.
D. Organization:
In Snowflake, an organization refers to a grouping of multiple accounts under a single entity, but it is unrelated to data sharing with external parties.
But, what if the reader account is for Market Place and Data Exchange, and for Data Sharing, we speak about Data Consumer account with Read-Only access? In this case, the only remaining option is A. Data Provider. Indeed, the question does not ask "who shares the data" exactly.
C is the correct answer.
A data provider is any Snowflake account that creates shares and makes them available to other Snowflake accounts to consume.
Data sharing is only supported between Snowflake accounts. As a data provider, you might want to share data with a consumer who does not already have a Snowflake account or is not ready to become a licensed Snowflake customer.
