Exam SnowPro Core topic 1 question 34 discussion

Answer is B False: E.g. JDBC: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/jdbc.html Snowflake provides a JDBC type 4 driver that supports core JDBC functionality. The JDBC driver must be installed in a 64-bit environment and requires Java 1.8 (or higher). The driver can be used with most client tools/applications that support JDBC for connecting to a database server.

False. A third-party tool that supports standard JDBC or ODBC can connect to Snowflake even without a Snowflake-specific driver. Snowflake provides JDBC and ODBC connectors that adhere to the standard JDBC and ODBC interfaces, allowing third-party tools to establish a connection to Snowflake using these standard protocols. The Snowflake JDBC and ODBC connectors act as bridges between the third-party tools and the Snowflake service, enabling communication and data exchange. As long as the third-party tool supports JDBC or ODBC, it can utilize the Snowflake connectors to connect to Snowflake and interact with the data warehouse. This approach ensures compatibility and interoperability with a wide range of tools and applications that support JDBC or ODBC, making it easier to integrate Snowflake into existing ecosystems or use preferred third-party tools for data analysis, reporting, or other purposes.

Answer is False: It is mentioned in the official snowflake documentation to use net.snowflake.client.jdbc.SnowflakeDriver as the driver class in your JDBC application. So if there are no snowflake specific driver, even through JDBC, it is not possible to establish the connection in snowflake https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/jdbc/jdbc-configure

A third-party tool that supports standard JDBC or ODBC can connect to Snowflake even if it does not have a Snowflake-specific driver. Snowflake provides its own JDBC and ODBC drivers that can be used by any tool that supports these standard interfaces. Therefore, as long as the tool can use a JDBC or ODBC driver, it can connect to Snowflake using Snowflake's provided drivers.

JDBC Driver is provided by snowflake

False, Snowflake has generic ODBC/JDBC driver support

Snowflake supports JDBC OR ODBC Does not care about driver it having its supported driver version to connect

Answer is B : False

The correct answer is B. False A third-party tool that supports standard JDBC or ODBC can connect to Snowflake even without a Snowflake-specific driver. This is because Snowflake supports standard JDBC and ODBC protocols, allowing tools that use these standard database connectivity interfaces to establish connections to Snowflake. The statement is false because: 1. Standard JDBC/ODBC support is sufficient for basic connectivity 2. Snowflake is designed to work with standard database connectivity protocols 3. While Snowflake-specific drivers might offer optimized performance or additional features, they are not strictly required for basic connectivity

False. A third-party tool that supports standard JDBC or ODBC can connect to Snowflake even without a Snowflake-specific driver.

Answer is B

It's B. As long as ODBC and JDBC are supported you can connect to Snowflake.

as long as JDBC or ODBC is supported it can connect

It is B

B. False

I believe, that the answer is True, so A

Answer is B
