What should you implement?

You build a data warehouse in an Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool.

Analysts write a complex SELECT query that contains multiple JOIN and CASE statements to transform data for use in inventory reports. The inventory reports will use the data and additional WHERE parameters depending on the report. The reports will be produced once daily.

You need to implement a solution to make the dataset available for the reports. The solution must minimize query times.

What should you implement?
A . a materialized view
B . a replicated table
C . in ordered clustered columnstore index
D . result set chaching

View Answer

Answer: A

Explanation:

Materialized views for dedicated SQL pools in Azure Synapse provide a low maintenance method for complex analytical queries to get fast performance without any query change.

Note: When result set caching is enabled, dedicated SQL pool automatically caches query results in the user database for repetitive use. This allows subsequent query executions to get results directly from the persisted cache so recomputation is not needed. Result set caching improves query performance and reduces compute resource usage. In addition, queries using cached results set do not use any concurrency slots and thus do not count

against existing concurrency limits.
