What does a table with a clustering depth of 1 mean in Snowflake?

Question

Options

• AThe table has only 1 micro-partition.
• BThe table has 1 overlapping micro-partition.
• CThe table has no overlapping micro-partitions.
• DThe table has no micro-partitions.

• A
  4% (2)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  89% (51)
• D
  5% (3)

Explanation

In Snowflake, a table's clustering depth indicates the degree of micro-partition overlap based on the clustering keys defined for the table. A clustering depth of 1 implies that the table has no overlapping micro-partitions. This is an optimal scenario, indicating that the table's data is well- clustered according to the specified clustering keys. Well-clustered data can lead to more efficient query performance, as it reduces the amount of data scanned during query execution and improves the effectiveness of data pruning.
