COF-C03 - Snowflake AI Data Cloud Features and Architecture - Section 1.7

Distinguish table types (permanent, transient, temporary, external, dynamic, and Apache Iceberg) and view types (standard, secure, and materialized).

Distinguish permanent, transient, and temporary tables by their Time Travel and Fail-safe behaviour and cost, and recognise external tables over data lake files, dynamic tables that refresh from a query, and Apache Iceberg tables in open table format. Compare standard, secure, and materialized views and when each is appropriate.
