ADA-C01 exam dumps: questions 201 to 300 of 565

Correct answer: B

• A. Incorrect.

  Incorrect. The account name is human-readable and commonly used with the organization name in modern Snowflake identifiers, but it is not the best choice when the requirement is a stable, system-generated identifier that is not affected by account renaming. This option reflects the misconception that friendly account names are immutable infrastructure identifiers.

• B. Correct.

  Correct. The account locator is a system-assigned identifier for the Snowflake account and is used as the basis for account URLs. It is the right choice when scripts, integrations, or private connectivity configurations need a stable identifier that persists even if the account name is changed. This aligns with Snowflake guidance for scenarios where the administrator must rely on a durable account identifier rather than a display-oriented name.

• C. Incorrect.

  Incorrect. Usernames and roles are used for authentication and authorization, not for identifying the Snowflake account in URLs or connection endpoints. This distractor targets a common misunderstanding between account-level identifiers and administrative access within the account.

• D. Incorrect.

  Incorrect. The region helps determine where the account is hosted, but it does not uniquely identify an account by itself. Multiple accounts can exist in the same region, so region information alone cannot serve as the required stable account identifier for endpoints or connection definitions.

Correct answer: A

• A. Correct.

  Correct. In Snowflake, the account name is the more human-readable account identifier and is commonly seen in account URLs and user-facing references. By contrast, the account locator is a Snowflake-assigned identifier for the account. A key operational distinction is that the account locator is stable, so older integrations or references that use it can continue to work even if the account name is changed. This is why a rename can affect some connection patterns or URLs while locator-based references remain valid.

• B. Incorrect.

  Incorrect. This reverses the concepts. The account locator is not a friendly administrator-chosen label; it is a Snowflake-generated identifier. The account name is the administrator-defined, human-readable identifier associated with the account. Also, the locator is not limited to replication-related use.

• C. Incorrect.

  Incorrect. Although both identify the same account in different contexts, they are not interchangeable in behavior. Renaming the account does not mean the account locator changes as well. This option reflects a common misconception that all account identifiers are mutable together. In practice, the distinction matters specifically because legacy references based on the locator may continue to function after an account rename.

• D. Incorrect.

  Incorrect. The account locator is assigned to the Snowflake account, not to individual warehouses. Warehouses are compute resources inside an account and have their own names, but they do not determine account identity. The account name also does not uniquely identify an organization across all regions and clouds in the way this option suggests.

Correct answer: A

• A. Correct.

  Correct. In Snowflake, the account name is the customer-visible name associated with the account and commonly appears in account URLs, especially in organization-account URL formats. The account locator is a Snowflake-assigned identifier that uniquely identifies the account within a region/cloud context and appears in some legacy URL patterns and cross-account/system-level references. This distinction is important when documenting how users should sign in versus how administrators may identify accounts in technical operations.

• B. Incorrect.

  Incorrect. This reverses the typical usage. Snowsight and modern connection guidance commonly use account identifiers based on organization name and account name, not only the account locator. Replication and failover configurations are not the sole purpose of the account name. The option reflects a common misconception that the locator is the primary end-user sign-in identifier in all cases.

• C. Incorrect.

  Incorrect. Although both identifiers relate to the same Snowflake account, they are not interchangeable in every context. Snowflake distinguishes between organization/account-based identifiers used in account URLs and the account locator used in other contexts. Assuming they can be swapped everywhere can lead to failed connections or incorrect documentation.

• D. Incorrect.

  Incorrect. This option swaps the definitions. The account name is customer-defined, whereas the account locator is system-assigned by Snowflake. Administrators often confuse these because both can appear in connection information, but they serve different roles.

Correct answer: B

• A. Incorrect.

  Incorrect. Switching warehouses uses the warehouse object name within the current account context, for example USE WAREHOUSE . This does not require any account identifier such as an account locator or organization-qualified account name.

• B. Correct.

  Correct. Cross-account features such as replication and failover/failover groups require an account-level identifier that uniquely identifies the target account. In practice, Snowflake documentation references using identifiers such as the account locator or organization-qualified account name, because a simple friendly display name is not sufficient to uniquely identify the destination account across regions/clouds.

• C. Incorrect.

  Incorrect. GRANT ROLE operates on security principals inside the current account and uses role and user names defined in that account. No separate account identifier is needed unless a cross-account integration or account-level feature is being configured, which is not the case here.

• D. Incorrect.

  Incorrect. Applying tags to a warehouse is an object-level metadata operation inside the current account. The administrator needs the warehouse and tag names, not the account locator.

Correct answer: C

• A. Incorrect.

  Incorrect. The account name by itself is not sufficient for all scenarios. User-facing access typically uses the account URL, which in modern Snowflake deployments is based on the organization name and account name. In addition, some cross-account and programmatic operations require a specific account identifier format rather than just the account name alone.

• B. Incorrect.

  Incorrect. This reverses the common usage. End users and browser-based tools such as Snowsight typically access the account through its account URL, not the raw locator. OAuth redirect URIs also must match the actual account URL being used. By contrast, certain Snowflake features and SQL commands that reference another account can require the locator-style account identifier.

• C. Correct.

  Correct. Snowsight access and OAuth redirect URIs depend on the account URL, which is commonly expressed using the organization name and account name. For account-to-account operations such as sharing or other features that explicitly ask for an account identifier, Snowflake may require the locator-based form (sometimes with region/cloud context depending on the account and feature). This distinction is important after an organization rename or when validating which identifier a specific integration expects.

• D. Incorrect.

  Incorrect. None of these identifiers are appropriate as stated. A region name alone does not identify a Snowflake account for user login, an account name alone is often not enough for OAuth endpoint and URL configuration, and an organization name alone does not identify the target account for data sharing or cross-account operations.
