Snowflake Trial Setup — First Query & Credits Report

# Snowflake Trial Setup — First Query & Credits Report > **Outcome:** Run your first query on a Snowflake trial and read credits > consumed. **Check:** LAB SF-1 credits report (query history + credits). ## 1. Setup (free 30-day trial, no warehouse left running) 1. Sign up for a Snowflake trial; create database `W8_LAB` and an X-SMALL warehouse `LAB_WH` with `AUTO_SUSPEND = 60`. 2. Load `w7-retail` via the UI wizard (or the provided `COPY INTO` starter), then run: ```sql USE WAREHOUSE LAB_WH; SELECT date_trunc('month', order_date) AS m, SUM(line_total) AS revenue FROM w8_lab.orders GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 1; ``` 3. Open Query History: note wall-clock time, partitions scanned/pruned, and credits billed (`QUERY_HISTORY` / Account Usage). ## 2. LAB SF-1 credits report (required evidence) Submit: warehouse size + auto-suspend setting + Query History screenshot with credits for the query above. Always suspend/drop `LAB_WH` when done. One paragraph: what auto-suspend protects you from, cost-wise.
