Query pruning in Snowflake is the mechanism used to limit the number of micro-partitions scanned by a query. By analyzing the filters and conditions applied in a query, Snowflake can skip over micro-partitions that do not contain relevant data, thereby reducing the amount of data processed and improving query performance. This technique is particularly effective for large datasets and is a key component of Snowflake ' s performance optimization features.
