Snowflake Cloud Data Warehousing-Basics to Advanced concepts

Overview

This tutorial helps you to understand basic and advanced concepts of cloud technologies and their advantages over traditional and on premises data warehouse. You will learn how to load the data and unload the data from/to snowflake account.

We create snowflake tasks which will be used to schedule stored procedures or data loading activities. We cover discussing about snowpipe which is a continuous data loading process.

Snowflake comes with Time travel and zero copy cloning, We do discuss about these concepts in this tutorial.
