What does the RESULT_SCAN function do in Snowflake?

It queries the results of a previous statement

It flattens semi-structured data

It scans a table for specific values

In a Snowflake FLATTEN query, what is the purpose of the OUTER parameter?

It specifies that the FLATTEN function should only return elements from the outermost level of the input.

It controls whether rows with no flattened output (e.g., NULL or empty input) are included in the result.

It determines whether the FLATTEN operation is performed on the outer table or an inner table.

It forces FLATTEN to include only the outer array elements and exclude all nested ones.

A data analyst has a VARIANT column named event_data that contains JSON strings. The analyst needs to extract the value of the 'user_id' field from each JSON object and cast it to an integer for a join. Which function should the analyst use to parse the JSON string into a VARIANT value?

GET_PATH(event_data, 'user_id')
