What Are the Benefits of a Multi-Cluster Warehouse in Snowflake?
In Snowflake, you allocate “virtual warehouses” (computing clusters) to execute the SQL database commands that you run on the data platform.

What Type of Data Warehouse Is Snowflake Data Platform?
With Snowflake, it’s possible to build an enterprise data warehouse (EDW), an operational data store (ODS), or a team-specific data mart.

What Is the Use of a Virtual Warehouse in Snowflake Analytics?
In Snowflake, you allocate “virtual warehouses” (computing clusters) to execute the SQL database commands that you run on the data platform.

How Does Snowflake Storage Work? (Databases & Schemas)
Databases and schemas ("namespaces") are used to organize data in Snowflake storage, which uses a columnar format internally for analytics.

How Many Nodes Are in a Snowflake Virtual Warehouse?
Snowflake uses credits, which are analogous to CPU nodes, in order to pay for the virtual warehouses that power its analytical query engine.

Is Snowflake a Data Warehouse for Analytics and Insights?
Snowflake data platform is referred to as a data warehouse or data lake because it separates storage (data) from compute (processing power).

What Is the Difference Between a Database and a Warehouse in Snowflake?
Snowflake uses databases for data storage, while a “Snowflake warehouse” is a virtual computing cluster that processes analytical queries.

How Many Virtual Warehouses Can Snowflake Hold?
Snowflake data platform allows many virtual warehouses in one account, but multi-cluster virtual warehouses are an Enterprise-only feature.

What Is a Multi-Cluster Virtual Warehouse in Snowflake Data Platform?
Multi-cluster virtual warehouses auto-scale compute resources based on the demands on the data warehouse. Here’s how they work in Snowflake.

What Are Warehouses in Snowflake Data Analytics Platform?
Snowflake’s virtual warehouses are computing clusters that process the data analytics commands you run on Snowflake data analytics platform.
