Explanation

The VALIDATE table function in Snowflake is used to return all errors encountered during a previously executed COPY INTO <table> statement. Syntax: SELECT * FROM TABLE(VALIDATE(<table>, JOB_ID => '<query_id>')); This is useful for diagnosing load failures after the fact without re-running the load. Option A (view queries that errored) is closer to Query History functionality. Option B (verify a SELECT without running it) is not a Snowflake feature. Option C (prevent a PUT from running) is incorrect; VALIDATE is post-load, not pre-load.
