Snowflake Certification Practice Test

True or False: A schema can be owned by multiple roles in Snowflake.

1. True

2. False

3. Only if permissions allow

4. Only for database objects

The correct answer is: False

In Snowflake, a schema can only be owned by a single role at any given time. This ownership implies that the role has the authority to manage the schema and its objects, but no multiple roles can share ownership simultaneously. Other roles can be granted privileges on the schema, allowing them to perform various actions like querying or modifying data, but ownership is exclusive. While it is possible for various roles to have permissions to access and manipulate the objects within a schema, the concept of ownership strictly pertains to a single role controlling the schema itself. Therefore, the assertion that a schema can be owned by multiple roles is incorrect, making the correct answer "False."
