The correct answers are C. To determine if the pipe is suspended and D. To troubleshoot errors in a pipe execution .
SYSTEM$PIPE_STATUS returns status information about a Snowpipe pipe. This function is useful for monitoring Snowpipe health and troubleshooting ingestion issues.
Why C is correct:
The output of SYSTEM$PIPE_STATUS includes information that can indicate whether a pipe is paused or running, helping determine whether ingestion is suspended.
Why D is correct:
The function can return diagnostic information about pipe execution, including pending files, notification channel status, and error-related information. This helps troubleshoot Snowpipe loading problems.
Example:
SELECT SYSTEM$PIPE_STATUS( ' my_pipe ' );
Why the other options are incorrect:
A. The pipe name is supplied as input to the function; the function is not primarily used to identify the pipe name.
B. SYSTEM$PIPE_STATUS is informational only. It does not modify pipe configuration. Configuration changes are made with commands such as ALTER PIPE.
E. Snowpipe loads data into tables. It does not unload data. Listing staged files is done using stage listing commands or directory tables, not SYSTEM$PIPE_STATUS.
Official Snowflake documentation reference:
Snowflake documentation describes SYSTEM$PIPE_STATUS as a system function that retrieves a JSON representation of the current status of a pipe, useful for monitoring and troubleshooting Snowpipe.
