Was about to tweet our latest post but @toppare bet me to it 🏃‍♂️. Thanks for sharing! Curious about when to use CTEs in Snowflake? Read on!
Another great post from @select_dev about CTEs. Summary: - continue using CTEs 🤘 - specify column names (don't "import" with select *) - for special queries, experiment with repeating logic instead of reusing CTEs - learn how to read query plan select.dev/posts/should-you-…

In @SnowflakeDB 's latest release, they've given us a nice new set of aggregate functions: min_by and max_by. In this example I look across each user's query history, and find the ID of the first and last queries they executed.

More generally, you can use these to find the row containing the min/max value for a particular column, then return the value of another column in that row.

⚠️ Unfortunately, this function isn't guaranteed to be deterministic. As a result, it won't be able to leverage Snowflake's result cache, so be careful when using in performance or cost sensitive applications where the query is executed frequently.

Range joins are notoriously slow in many databases. @SnowflakeDB is no exception. We're using a binned range join technique across a number of models in our @getdbt project and have seen incredible results. A 300x speedup for this query.

As of Tuesday, users now have programatic access to all the query performance statistics available in the Query Profile. This is possible through a brand new function, get_query_operator_stats. You can run this function on one query_id at a time:

Similar to the Query Profile, data is only retained for queries run in the last 14 days. If you want this to stick around for longer, you’ll have to persist it with a scheduled Snowflake job.
