QUERY_TAG in Snowflake is a user-defined string that helps in tracking and analyzing complex queries by adding contextual metadata. By setting QUERY_TAG in JSON format with ALTER SESSION commands, users can maintain consistency across queries for monitoring, debugging, and performance analysis. Best practices include standardizing the QUERY_TAG structure, keeping it concise, and leveraging QUERY_HISTORY for deeper insights into query performance and resource management.
