Explanation
To load files whose metadata has expired, set the LOAD_UNCERTAIN_FILES copy option to true. The copy option references load metadata, if available, to avoid data duplication, but also at-tempts to load files with expired load metadata.
Alternatively, set the FORCE option to load all files, ignoring load metadata if it exists. Note that this option reloads files, potentially duplicating data in a table.

Explanation
How Does Warehouse Caching Impact Queries?
Each warehouse, when running, maintains a cache of table data accessed as queries are processed by the warehouse. This enables improved performance for subsequent queries if they are able to read from the cache instead of from the table(s) in the query. The size of the cache is determined by the compute resources in the warehouse (i.e. the larger the warehouse and, therefore, more compute re-sources in the warehouse), the larger the cache.
This cache is dropped when the warehouse is suspended, which may result in slower initial perfor-mance for some queries after the warehouse is resumed. As the resumed warehouse runs and pro-cesses more queries, the cache is rebuilt, and queries that are able to take advantage of the cache will experience improved performance.
Keep this in mind when deciding whether to suspend a warehouse or leave it running. In other words, consider the trade-off between saving credits by suspending a warehouse versus maintaining the cache of data from previous queries to help with performance.
Using Persisted Query Results
When a query is executed, the result is persisted (i.e. cached) for a period of time. At the end of the time period, the result is purged from the system.
Snowflake uses persisted query results to avoid re-generating results when nothing has changed (i.e. "retrieval optimization"). In addition, you can use persisted query results to post-process the results (e.g. layering a new query on top of the results already calculated).
For persisted query results of all sizes, the cache expires after 24 hours.
Both materialized views and cached query results provide query performance benefits:
Materialized views are more flexible than, but typically slower than, cached results.
Materialized views are faster than tables because of their "cache" (i.e. the query results for the view); in addition, if data has changed, they can use their "cache" for data that hasn't changed and use the base table for any data that has changed.
Regular views do not cache data, and therefore cannot improve performance by caching.

Explanation
If your external software exports fields enclosed in quotes but inserts a leading space before the opening quotation character for each field, Snowflake reads the leading space rather than the open-ing quotation character as the beginning of the field. The quotation characters are interpreted as string data.
Use the TRIM_SPACE file format option to remove undesirable spaces during the data load.

Explanation
The benefits of Snowflake's approach to partitioning table data include:
In contrast to traditional static partitioning, Snowflake micro-partitions are derived automatically; they don't need to be explicitly defined up-front or maintained by users.
As the name suggests, micro-partitions are small in size (50 to 500 MB, before compression), which enables extremely efficient DML and fine-grained pruning for faster queries.
Micro-partitions can overlap in their range of values, which, combined with their uniformly small size, helps prevent skew.
Columns are stored independently within micro-partitions, often referred to as columnar storage. This enables efficient scanning of individual columns; only the columns referenced by a query are scanned.
Columns are also compressed individually within micro-partitions. Snowflake automatically de-termines the most efficient compression algorithm for the columns in each micro-partition.
