External tables support views, query and join operations?

• A. True
• B. Only queries
• C. Only views
• D. False

Answer: (A)

External tables let you treat data stored outside Snowflake as if it were a table inside Snowflake. You can run standard SQL against them, including selecting, joining with other tables, and using them inside views. This means you can create a view that references an external table, or join an external table with internal tables in a single query. The data remains read-only in Snowflake, but for querying and combining data from external sources, external tables behave like regular tables. So the statement is true.
