Snowflake Exam ARA-R01 Topic 2 Question 29 Discussion

Actual exam question for Snowflake's ARA-R01 exam
Question #: 29
Topic #: 2
[All ARA-R01 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

Enabling the search optimization service on the table can improve the performance of queries that have selective filtering criteria, which seems to be the case here. This service optimizes the execution of queries by creating a persistent data structure called a search access path, which allows some micro-partitions to be skipped during the scanning process. This can significantly speed up query performance without increasing compute costs1.

I bet the people who came up with these function names are the same ones who decided to call it 'Snowflake' in the first place. Clearly, they have a thing for winter weather metaphors.

Wait, there's a 'SYSTEMSCLUSTERING' function? Sounds like Snowflake's developers were having a little too much fun with the naming conventions. Maybe they should have gone with 'SNOWFLAKECLUSTERING' instead, just to keep things interesting.

C'mon, this is easy! The answer is clearly C) SYSTEMSCLUSTERING_DEPTH and D) SYSTEMSCLUSTERING_RATIO. I mean, what else would you use to monitor clustering metadata? Snowflake's naming conventions are so straightforward, it's like they're begging us to get it right.

I agree, C) SYSTEMSCLUSTERING_DEPTH and D) SYSTEMSCLUSTERING_RATIO are the correct functions to view and monitor clustering metadata.

I'm going with B) SYSTEMSTABLE_CLUSTERING and E) SYSTEMSCLUSTERING_INFORMATION. Gotta cover all my bases, you know? Although, I do wonder if 'systemsclustering' is just a fancy way of saying 'table clustering'.

Yeah, 'systemsclustering' does sound like it could be related to table clustering in some way.

I agree, those seem like the most relevant options to monitor clustering metadata for a table.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe I'll just pick C) and E) to be safe. After all, 'systemsclustering' sounds like it could be the right answer!
