Snowflake Exam ARA-C01 Topic 2 Question 33 Discussion

Actual exam question for Snowflake's ARA-C01 exam

Question #: 33
Topic #: 2

[All ARA-C01 Questions]

What Snowflake system functions are used to view and or monitor the clustering metadata for a table? (Select TWO).

ASYSTEMSCLUSTERING

BSYSTEMSTABLE_CLUSTERING

CSYSTEMSCLUSTERING_DEPTH

DSYSTEMSCLUSTERING_RATIO

ESYSTEMSCLUSTERING_INFORMATION

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Effective pruning in Snowflake relies on the organization of data within micro-partitions. By using an ORDER BY clause with clustering keys when loading data into the reporting tables, Snowflake can better organize the data within micro-partitions. This organization allows Snowflake to skip over irrelevant micro-partitions during a query, thus improving query performance and reducing the amount of data scanned12.

Ha, I bet the answer is C and D - SYSTEMSCLUSTERING_DEPTH and SYSTEMSCLUSTERING_RATIO, because who doesn't love a good snowflake-themed pun?

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm going to go with A and E, just because A sounds like it might be a general system function for clustering.

I'm going to guess B and D, since they seem to be more specific to clustering metadata for a table.

I think C and E are the correct answers, as they look like they would provide information about the clustering depth and ratio for a table.

I agree with Chi, those functions make sense for monitoring clustering metadata.
