Explanation

When data is loaded into Snowflake, it is automatically reorganized into columnar format (columns are stored together rather than rows) and compressed format (using algorithms like Zstandard or Snappy). Columnar storage enables efficient analytical queries by reading only the needed columns, while compression reduces storage costs and speeds up I/O. Snowflake handles both transformations automatically - users do not need to specify binary, raw, or zip formats.
