WAREHOUSES IN SNOWFLAKE

A Data Warehouse is a cluster of computing resources in Snowflake. It provides the required resources, such as CPU, memory, and temporary storage, to perform queries and DML operations (like loading data into tables). A warehouse must be running and in use for the session to perform these operations. While a warehouse is running, it consumes Snowflake credits.
