I've passed my Snowflake core certification a month ago. Now, I wanna go for advanced certification. My current role is that of an App DBA and I'm more into SQL, PL/SQL, data modeling with App DBA experience.
Which Snowflake advanced certification would best fit for me?
Data Engineer or Architect or Database administration or ?
Please advise!
Also, where can I get the training materials?
Thanks,
Vishal
Here you can find relevant descriptions of the certifications: https://www.snowflake.com/certifications/
I would recommend doing the Architect and not the Data Engineer one, based on your description. The DBA one is not released yet, as far as I know.
The Snowflake SnowPro Advanced certifications are relatively new so online resources are somewhat limited.
A very good resource is this LinkedIn group:

I'm going to build an enterprise grade database on the topic of securities. I read on the SEC website that there is an CIK code the government uses. I suppose there are also other identifiers. Anyone done this recently? Can you please point me out to where I can download lists of securities and their identifiers?
It sounds like you want a list if all companies. I believe this is what you want, from the SEC Edgar database
http://www.sec.gov/edgar/indices/fullindex.htm
I'm trying to collect some info, preferably in form of whitepaper or 'best practices manual', on the topic of data management access in large organizations.
I work in on of those, the file structure is extremely complicated and it's becoming more and more challenging to manage access requests to certain folders. Data owners, ACLs inheritance, folder structure etc.
Any suggestions please, online resources or books that you know of?
Thanks

I'll answer my own question, found a good part of what I was searching for in:
Windows Administration Resource Kit: Productivity Solutions for IT Professionals
and some of that in the Technet database under Data Managment.
If anydody else has any other sources, please share.
I am trying to build a web application that enables users to refer people to the site. A user can refer up to 10 people to the site and can have up to 7 generations, meaning that each person referred to the system by a referred user will be related to the immediate referrer and the other user that referred the newly registered user’s referrer, up to the seventh level.
The diagram below will help give a view of what I mean.
I'm using SQL Server 2008 for my database.
This is impossible to answer in general because the answer depends on what kind of queries you plan to run against your data.
But there are many alternatives for how to store hierarchical data in a database. You can start with Implementing a hierarchical data structure in a database.
If that's not enough, Google is your friend
I am studying for an exam and there is a sample question like :
You are the Manager of the UN web
site, which comprises of a number of
sub-sites, in the six official
languages, with information prepared
and produced by different Departments.
You have been asked by senior
Management to devise and establish a
clear, coherent, workable and
acceptable governance mechanism for
the entire site which will take into
account the different needs of the
content-providing Departments which
maintaining a degree of centralization
so that institutional branding is not
compromised. Prepare an outline for
this governance mechanism setting out
responsibilities of content-providers,
the technical group and the management
group
I just stuck at content governance management. I searched the web but not found much. Any hint, idea, document or resource will be a lifesaver for me.
Thanks your help.
I think you should attack this from 2 sides, for governance you could look at models used in open source projects ( http://www.google.com/search?q=open+source+governance ) and for content management entitlements look for user roles ( http://www.google.com/search?q=content+management+user+roles ).
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some good resources (web sites, technical articles/journals, books, etc.) related to database monitoring/performance?
I am looking to write a paper that explores what kinds of statistics are useful in database monitoring, and to whom they are useful for.
So, I figured I'd ask the experts ...
(In my research, I will be focusing mostly on a PostgreSQL database, but I am looking to gather resources on many different databases).
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!
ConSol-plugins are the de-facto standard when it comes to database monitoring with Nagios:
Oracle
MySQL
MS SQL Server
DB2
Not sure about PostgreSQL, but I've found www.sql-server-performance.com to be a wonderful resource on (MS SQL Server) database tuning.
Here's a page on that site that lists links to various performance-related topics.
http://www.sql-server-performance.com/tips/all_main.aspx
You may be able to apply some of the practices discussed here to PostgreSQL.
I don't think this is a question with a proper answer because your question tries to cover entire database programming domain in one question.
In most cases the database providers release a good set of tools for monitoring analysis purposes. Example : Oracle. You may use them as well.
And a simple google search gave me a hundreds of good resources that seems to be comply with your question.
