What command can be used to resume a suspended warehouse?

RESUME WAREHOUSE warehouse_name
START WAREHOUSE warehouse_name
RESTART WAREHOUSE warehouse_name
REOPEN WAREHOUSE warehouse_name

The correct answer is: RESUME WAREHOUSE warehouse_name

The command to resume a suspended warehouse in Snowflake is "RESUME WAREHOUSE warehouse_name." This command is specifically designed for the purpose of taking an existing warehouse that has been suspended and bringing it back online, allowing it to process queries and tasks again. When a warehouse is suspended, it stops consuming credits and resources, which saves costs, but can also lead to delays in query performance when trying to execute new commands. By issuing the resume command, users can effectively reallocate the necessary computational resources and ensure that their workloads can be handled promptly. The other options do not represent valid commands in Snowflake for resuming a warehouse. Each of the incorrect entries either utilizes an inaccurate verb or phrase that does not align with Snowflake's SQL syntax for managing warehouses. Understanding the correct syntax is critical for effective interaction with Snowflake's environment, which is why knowing that "RESUME WAREHOUSE" is the proper command is essential for Snowflake users.
