True or False: Once created, a micro-partition will never be changed.
Show answer
Answer: A
Explanation
In reclustering context, reorganizing doesn't mean that anything changes in existing micro-partitions' structure - instead the new micro-partitions are created with the same keys as in old micro-partitions before reclustering but reorganized to fit the clustering requirements. Check this article for a reference: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/tables-clustering-keys#reclustering Check the diagram from a provided example. New micro-partitions are called "new" for a reason, also the new numbering (micro-partition 5, 6, 7, 8) should give you a clue.
