How to Drop the Index in Snowflake

Drop the Index in Snowflake

Snowflake does not support indexes. But in specific situations, we can use the clustering keys as a substitute for Indexes. For dropping the clustering key, we use “ALTER TABLE .. DROP CLUSTERING KEY” command:

Syntax:

alter table table_name drop clustering key;

Example:

alter table active_users drop clustering key;

Conclusion

In Snowflake, when we don’t need the clustering keys, we will drop them. This blog helps you to learn to drop an index through a command. I hope this article gives you sufficient information about dropping an index.
