What types of Snowflake functions are available for data analysis and manipulation? (Select all that apply)

The correct answer is A. Scalar functions B. System functions C. Aggregate functions. Snowflake supports scalar functions (operate on a single row and return one value per row), system functions (provide system-level information and control, like SYSTEM$PIPE_STATUS), and aggregate functions (operate across multiple rows to return a single summary value, like SUM o

Explanation

Snowflake supports scalar functions (operate on a single row and return one value per row), system functions (provide system-level information and control, like SYSTEM$PIPE_STATUS), and aggregate functions (operate across multiple rows to return a single summary value, like SUM or AVG) - all three are well-documented categories in Snowflake's function library.

Option D (Complex functions) is incorrect because "complex functions" is not a recognized Snowflake function category - it's a fabricated term designed to test whether you know the actual taxonomy.

Memory tip: Think "SAS" - Scalar, Aggregate, System - the three real Snowflake function types. If you see "Complex," it's a decoy; complexity isn't a function category, it's a characteristic.
