Snowflake ARA-C01 Exam - 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).

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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.

I thought SYSTEMSCLUSTERING_RATIO was a valid option too!

I’m pretty confident that SYSTEMSCLUSTERING is correct, but I’m torn between SYSTEMSCLUSTERING_RATIO and SYSTEMSCLUSTERING_DEPTH for the second choice.

I feel like SYSTEMSCLUSTERING_INFORMATION could be one of the answers, but I can't recall the exact context.

I remember practicing a question about clustering metadata, and I think SYSTEMSCLUSTERING_DEPTH was mentioned as well.

I think the functions related to clustering are SYSTEMSCLUSTERING and SYSTEMSCLUSTERING_RATIO, but I'm not entirely sure about the second one.

This is a good one. I know the SYSTEMSCLUSTERING and SYSTEMSCLUSTERING_DEPTH functions are used to view clustering information, so I'll go with those.

I'm a little confused by the options here. I'm not super familiar with the Snowflake system functions, so I'll have to think this through carefully to make sure I select the right two.

Okay, I think I've got this. Based on the question, the two functions I'd select are SYSTEMSTABLE_CLUSTERING and SYSTEMSCLUSTERING_RATIO. Those sound like they'd give me the information I need to view and monitor the clustering metadata.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Snowflake has some functions for monitoring table metadata, but I'm not sure which ones specifically deal with clustering.

This looks like a straightforward question about Snowflake system functions. I'll start by reviewing the options and thinking about which ones are related to clustering metadata.

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.
