Collaboration, Marketplace & Cost Estimation Workshop (Badge 2)

Course Overview

A course covering Snowflake's revolutionary collaboration technologies. Learn to create listings, get listings sent by other accounts, and shop for data sets on the Snowflake Marketplace. Understand how your organization can get rid of nightly extracts and cumbersome ETL processes.

This course also helps those new to SQL brush up on some important SQL skills including basics like DISTINCT, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, JOINS, and control-of-flow like BEGIN, END, DECLARE and FOR. Finally, the course covers cost categories, cost estimation, and some beginner-level cost control mechanisms.

Prior Knowledge & Experience

We strongly recommend completing the Data Warehousing Workshop (Badge 1) before attempting this workshop. Many foundational concepts are covered in Badge 1. The course instruction presumes you have completed Badge 1 and does not explain all concepts from the introductory level.

Scenario-Based

We continue our journey with the familiar faces from Badge 1. Mel, whose parents own a smoothie shop, learns about Snowflake's collaboration features while working with Klaus Ecklund, a data operations specialist at World Data Emporium (where Tsai Yang works). Together, they explore data sharing and marketplace features to help improve the family business, discovering how to access shared data, create listings, and manage costs effectively.

Time to Complete

Most learner take between 8 and 12 hours to complete this workshop.

Grading

This course is not for learners who require step-by-step instructions. You will be expected to independently apply previously learned concepts to new tasks without step-by-step guidance.

To complete the workshop, you will watch videos, answer quizzes, and finish labs auto-graded by DORA, our grading robot. DORA will issue your badge within 24 hours of course completion.
