What happens if you associate a new user-level Network Policy to a
user?
Give this one a try later!
Just like with account-level Network Policies, only one user-level Network
Policy can be associated with a user at a time. If you associate a new one, it
immediately replaces the old one.
The ID specified when a reader account is created is not the name used to
access the account. The account name, also known as the locator, is generated
by Snowflake during account creation.
It makes it more difficult. Don't point simple queries of small tables at the same
warehouse you point complex queries of large tables.
1. The overall size of the tables being queried has more impact that the number
of rows.
2. Query filtering predicates and the number of joins/tables in the query.
