DP-203 Practice Question: Secure, monitor, and optimize data storage and data processing
You have an Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool that handles both high-priority real-time queries and low-priority batch jobs. You need to ensure that high-priority queries always get the resources they need, while batch jobs do not starve. What should you configure?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create workload groups for high-priority and low-priority queries, assigning appropriate importance and resource percentages
Workload management with workload groups allows you to set importance and resource allocation. Option A is wrong because result-set caching does not prioritize queries. Option B is wrong because data compression reduces storage but does not affect prioritization. Option D is wrong because materialized views improve performance but do not prioritize.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable result-set caching for the high-priority queries
Why it's wrong here
Result-set caching speeds up repeated queries but does not prioritize resource allocation.
- ✗
Enable data compression on the tables used by batch jobs
Why it's wrong here
Data compression reduces storage and can improve I/O, but does not prioritize queries.
- ✓
Create workload groups for high-priority and low-priority queries, assigning appropriate importance and resource percentages
Why this is correct
Workload groups allow you to control resource allocation and query importance.
- ✗
Create materialized views for the batch job queries
Why it's wrong here
Materialized views improve query performance but do not address prioritization.
