DROP CLUSTERING KEY drops all clustering keys in a table.

Read our data_clustering guide for more information.

See also: CLUSTER BY, CREATE TABLE.

Permissions

The role must have the DDL permission at the database or table level.

Syntax

alter_table_rename_table_statement ::=
    ALTER TABLE [schema_name.]table_name DROP CLUSTERING KEY
    ;

table_name ::= identifier

Parameters

Parameter	Description
schema_name	The schema name for the table. Defaults to public if not specified.
table_name	The table name to apply the change to.

Usage notes

Removing clustering keys does not affect existing data.

To force data to re-cluster, the table has to be recreated (i.e. with CREATE TABLE AS).
