"I used this book to understand what makes the Snowflake platform different and how to best take advantage of its capabilities during a recent consulting assignment. I found its explanations of things like external stages, caching, streams and tasks, role based security, and other features, very useful. This book was ideal for me — someone with nearly two decades experience in the data warehousing space that needed to architect a solution in Snowflake relatively quickly. This book put me on the fast track to understanding Snowflake best practices."
"This is a great book for beginners. The book covers the basic fundamentals well enough to understand a person with little or no background. Author has explained very well with correlating the real world examples, that will be the key difference for one to understand the concepts quickly."
