Snowflake - Search Optimization

The document discusses search optimization in Snowflake and describes two types of queries - analytical queries using aggregation and point lookup queries. It explains that search optimization can benefit tables that are unclustered, frequently queried on non-clustering key columns, and experience many point lookups. The feature impacts storage and compute costs, which depend on the number of tables using search optimization.

Snowflake - Search Optimization

● Data Workloads contain 2 types of queries :

○ Analytical Queries

■ Eg : Aggregation SQL

● select sum(column),count(distinct column) , date_column from table group by

date_column

○ Point Lookup Queries

■ Eg : Select a few rows and all columns by using any random column in the where clause

● Select * from table where column = “abc”


Snowflake - Search Optimization

● Tables can benefit from Search optimization if :

■ Tables are not clustered

■ Table is frequently queried on columns which are not used in the clustering keys

■ Table has a lot of point-lookup queries

● Search Optimization Feature impacts costs for :

○ Storage resources

○ Compute resources

● Cost depends on :

○ Number of tables using this feature
