A user has semi-structured data to load into Snowflake but is not sure what types of operations will need to be performed on the data. Based on this situation, what type of column does Snowflake recommend be used?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

When dealing with semi-structured data in Snowflake, and the specific types of operations to be performed on the data are not yet determined, Snowflake recommends using the VARIANT data type. The VARIANT type is highly flexible and capable of storing data in multiple formats, including JSON, AVRO, BSON, and more, within a single column. This flexibility allows users to perform various operations on the data, including querying and manipulation of nested data structures without predefined schemas.
