Which statement is NOT true about Snowflake Data (Storage)?

  1. All data is maintained in databases.

  2. Each database can have multiple schemas.

  3. Schemas are a physical grouping of objects.

  4. Snowflake places no hard limits on the number of objects.

The correct answer is: Schemas are a physical grouping of objects.

In Snowflake, schemas are not considered a physical grouping of objects. Rather, they provide a logical organization to manage database objects like tables, views, and functions. While schemas serve as a way to organize these objects within a database, they do not imply a physical storage separation; the underlying architecture treats them more as namespaces rather than distinct physical containers. The other options accurately reflect the features of Snowflake's data storage architecture. Data must be organized within databases, and each database indeed can have multiple schemas, allowing for a well-structured data organization. Furthermore, Snowflake is designed to scale efficiently without imposing hard limits on the number of objects, giving users the flexibility to manage and grow their data environments dynamically.
