What does a 200 HTTP response from the insertFiles Snowpipe endpoint indicate?

• A. The files have been ingested
• B. The files were rejected
• C. Snowflake has recorded the list of files to add to the table
• D. It retrieves a report of files submitted via the insertFile endpoint

Answer: (C)

A 200 response means the insertFiles request was accepted and Snowflake has recorded the list of files to be ingested (queued for loading). It does not guarantee that the data has been loaded into the table yet—the actual ingestion happens asynchronously after the files are recorded. If there were a problem with the request, you’d see an error status instead. So the right interpretation is that Snowflake has registered the files to be added to the table, not that they’ve already been ingested.
