Data unloading uses the COPY command.

• A. It uses COPY INTO
• B. It uses PUT
• C. It uses GET
• D. True

Answer: (D)

Unloading data from Snowflake is done using the COPY INTO command. This command is the mechanism Snowflake uses to export data from a table to an external location (like S3, Azure, or GCS) and to define how the data is formatted, compressed, and written to the destination. PUT and GET, on the other hand, are used for moving files to and from a stage—these do not perform the actual export of data from Snowflake. So saying that data unloading uses the COPY command is true, since the unloading operation is implemented with the COPY INTO form of the COPY command family.
