## Frequently Asked Questions

**Does SalesIntel data consume my Snowflake storage credits?**

No. This is a Direct Share, meaning data is stored in SalesIntel's account. You only pay for the compute (warehouse) credits used when querying the data.

**Can I join SalesIntel data with my internal tables?**

Yes. Once the local database is created from the share, you can perform standard SQL joins between SalesIntel tables and your internal data tables seamlessly.

**What happens if we change our Snowflake Edition?**

Upgrading your Snowflake edition (e.g., from Standard to Business Critical) will not affect the share. However, if you move your account to a new region or cloud provider, please notify SalesIntel so we can update the sharing configuration.
