True or False: Loading data into Snowflake requires that source data files be no larger than 16MB.

Nope, that's False.
Guessing False here. Snowflake recommends much bigger files for optimal load, like 100MB compressed, so 16MB is way too low. Let me know if I'm missing a weird exception.
False , Snowflake can definitely handle bigger files. The 16MB thing feels like a distractor from AWS or another service.
Do we actually need files to be under 16MB for Snowflake loads? I always thought their optimal size was much higher, like in the 100MB+ range (compressed). Maybe there’s a mix-up with some other tool's limits? Curious what makes people say True here since I think bigger files are fine in Snowflake.
Probably True. Thought I read somewhere the file size limit was pretty strict, like 16MB. Correct me if I'm off base.
Be respectful. No spam.
