COF-C03 - Snowflake AI Data Cloud Features and Architecture - Section 1.6

Explain micro-partitions, data clustering, and how Snowflake stores and prunes table data.

Explain that Snowflake stores table data in immutable, compressed, columnar micro-partitions that carry metadata about the values they hold. Describe how the natural clustering of data and partition pruning let Snowflake skip micro-partitions that cannot match a query, and what clustering depth indicates about a large table.
