What is Snowflake? | 10 minute Snowflake Tutorial

[@henrybonham-carter716]

Excellent easy-to-understand introduction to Snowflake. The postal service analogy is a really effective way of explaining it too. Thanks.

[@renjithrameshan4504]

A short and crisp video ensuring you get the fundamentals right with the snowflake. I like the way you compared it to the postal service :)

[@mastering_snowflake]

Thanks Renjith! Glad it helped

Nice. Please make a video on tasks, streams, clustering, stored procedures, cloning, etc in snowflake ❄️

Quality, real-world content Adam. Will no doubt prove to be massively useful to individuals and organisations getting to grips with all Snowflake offers

Virtual Warehouse is something like a View in an good old RDBMS?

[@mastering_snowflake]

No - it is CPU and memory to run queries against your data

[@rossi.renato]

Awesome content!

[@selenemahakosh9629]

This is great information. I am taking notes for sure. Do you recommend any books or sites to learn about Oracle EPM? I am a beginner. Thank you

[@mastering_snowflake]

I don’t specialise in Oracle I’m afraid

What data modeling technique is used in the snowflake environment?

[@mastering_snowflake]

Snowflake doesn’t dictate the modelling technique used. Think of it as a blank canvas for your data warehousing olap (and now oltp workloads using unistore!). Typically I see kimball star schemas or data vault techniques

[@botrrun9399]

What data modeling techniques are used for this technology i..e. 3NF, dimensional, data vault? There has to be some structure preferred

[@mastering_snowflake]

It comes down to personal preference from what I’ve experienced. I see customer using both star schemas and data vault (not many using 3NF). People use what they’re comfortable with and what their teams are experienced in. Snowflake will support either approach well.

[@mgallagher1001]

I think you should name this video understanding snowflake data platform for beginners who already know a bunch of acronyms and concepts about data analytics. And then make another video for real beginners. Imagine you are talking to a niece or nephew who is in 10th grade.

[@mastering_snowflake]

I think it’s a valid point!
