How does Snowpipe Streaming differ fundamentally from traditional Snowpipe file ingestion?

Snowpipe Streaming writes row-by-row data directly into Snowflake table micro-partitions via an SDK client without writing or staging intermediate files in cloud storage. — Snowpipe Streaming bypasses file creation in stages, using the Snowflake Ingest SDK to stream rows directly into target micro-partitions.

What is the expected latency for data ingested via Snowpipe Streaming to become queryable in target tables?

Sub-second to a few seconds — Snowpipe Streaming provides ultra-low latency ingestion, making rows queryable within seconds of transmission.

What is a 'Channel' in Snowpipe Streaming architecture?

A logical, named, ordered stream of rows opened by a client application targeting a specific Snowflake table — Channels represent logical connections opened via the Ingest SDK to write ordered data sequences into a table.

Overview

Snowpipe Streaming is the newest ingestion framework designed for low-latency, row-based data ingestion. Unlike classic Snowpipe, which requires files to be written to a stage first, Snowpipe Streaming allows applications to write rows of data *directly* into Snowflake tables. This is a critical new topic for the COF-C03 exam.
