Question 51

While investigating a data issue, you wanted to review yesterday's version of the table using below command, while querying the previous version of the table using time travel you realized that you are no longer able to view the historical data in the table and you could see it the table was updated yesterday based on the table history(DESCRIBE HISTORY table_name) command what could be the reason why you can not access this data?

SELECT * FROM table_name TIMESTAMP AS OF date_sub(current_date(), 1)

You currently do not have access to view historical data

By default, historical data is cleaned every 180 days in DELTA

A command VACUUM table_name RETAIN 0 was ran on the table

Time travel must be enabled before you query previous data
