Question 488

A Query Profile shows a UnionAll operator with an extra Aggregate operator on top.

What does this signify?

    Correct Answer: C

    A Query Profile showing a UnionAll operator with an extra Aggregate operator on top typically signifies a UNION operation without the ALL keyword in SQL. This happens because UNION without the ALL keyword removes duplicate rows from the result set, requiring an aggregation step to identify and eliminate these duplicates, which is reflected by the Aggregate operator on top of the UnionAll operator.

UNION Without ALL In SQL, it is possible to combine two sets of data with either UNION or UNION ALL constructs. The difference between them is that UNION ALL simply concatenates inputs, while UNION does the same, but also performs duplicate elimination. A common mistake is to use UNION when the UNION ALL semantics are sufficient. These queries show in Query Profile as a UnionAll operator with an extra Aggregate operator on top (which performs duplicate elimination).

Option C. In a Query Profile, a UnionAll operator with an extra Aggregate operator on top typically signifies a UNION without ALL in the query. In SQL, a UNION operation combines the result sets of two or more SELECT statements. When you use UNION without the ALL keyword, it automatically removes duplicate rows from the result set. This deduplication process requires an aggregation step to identify and eliminate duplicates, which is why the Aggregate operator appears on top of the UnionAll operator in the query profile.

The correct answer is C. Common Query Problems Identified by Query Profile: 1)Joining tables without providing a join condition (Solution: adding join condition) 2)UNION without ALL (elimination duplicates too Large to fit in memory) (solution: Using a larger warehouse or Processing data in smaller batches). 3)Inefficient Pruning : pruning is only effective if the data is stored in a way that is correlated with the query's filter attributes (solution: cluster key, Materialized view) https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/ui-query-profile#common-query-problems-identified-by-query-profile
