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;
