Description

Marks where the usage of CLUSTER BY may cause performance issues.

Example Code

Teradata:

IN -> Teradata_01.sql

CREATE MULTISET TABLE T_2008,
NO FALLBACK,
NO BEFORE JOURNAL,
NO AFTER JOURNAL,
CHECKSUM = DEFAULT,
DEFAULT MERGEBLOCKRATIO
(
      COL1 NUMBER(20,0) NOT NULL,
      COL2 INTEGER,
      COL3 VARCHAR(4) CHARACTER SET LATIN NOT CASESPECIFIC,
      COL4 DATE FORMAT 'YYYY-MM-DD'
)
PRIMARY INDEX 
( 
      COL1, COL2
)
PARTITION BY ( RANGE_N(COL4 BETWEEN DATE '2010-01-01' AND DATE '2025-12-31' EACH INTERVAL '1' YEAR ),
CASE_N(
COL3  = 'T',
COL3 = 'M',
COL3 = 'L') ); -- PARTITION BY transformed to CLUSTER BY

Snowflake:

OUT -> Teradata_01.sql

CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE T_2008
(
      COL1 NUMBER(20,0) NOT NULL,
      COL2 INTEGER,
      COL3 VARCHAR(4),
      COL4 DATE
)
--** SSC-PRF-0007 - PERFORMANCE REVIEW - CLUSTER BY **
CLUSTER BY (

             RANGE_N(COL4 BETWEEN DATE '2010-01-01' AND DATE '2025-12-31' EACH INTERVAL '1' YEAR ),

CASE_N(
COL3  = 'T',
COL3 = 'M',
COL3 = 'L'))

; -- PARTITION BY transformed to CLUSTER BY

Transact:

IN -> SqlServer_01.sql

CREATE TABLE my_table (
    enterprise_cif INT,
    name NVARCHAR(100),
    address NVARCHAR(255),
    created_at DATETIME
) 
WITH (
    DISTRIBUTION = HASH(enterprise_cif),
    CLUSTERED INDEX (enterprise_cif)
);

Snowflake:

OUT -> SqlServer_01.sql

CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE my_table (
  enterprise_cif INT,
  name VARCHAR(100),
  address VARCHAR(255),
  created_at TIMESTAMP_NTZ(3)
)
--** SSC-PRF-0007 - PERFORMANCE REVIEW - CLUSTER BY **
CLUSTER BY (enterprise_cif)
COMMENT = '{ "origin": "sf_sc", "name": "snowconvert", "version": {  "major": 0,  "minor": 0,  "patch": "0" }, "attributes": {  "component": "transact",  "convertedOn": "10/09/2024" }}'
;
