Question 450

BrightPath Studios is responsible for an Azure SQL or Microsoft SQL workload. A large analytic table performs poorly after many tiny inserts. Operational evidence: Columnstore contains many small delta rowgroups. What operational condition would provide the earliest useful regression warning?

  1. Monitor long-running open transactions
  2. Monitor open and deleted rowgroup ratios
  3. Monitor Query Store regressed queries
  4. Monitor index usage and storage overhead

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Columnstore contains many small delta rowgroups. Monitor open and deleted rowgroup ratios.

Incorrect Answers

A:

“Monitor long-running open transactions” concerns Lock waits remain while session is inactive; the reported problem instead is Columnstore contains many small delta rowgroups. Monitor open and deleted rowgroup ratios.

C:

“Monitor Query Store regressed queries” concerns Query Store captures a new high-cost plan; the reported problem instead is Columnstore contains many small delta rowgroups. Monitor open and deleted rowgroup ratios.

D:

“Monitor index usage and storage overhead” concerns A single recommendation ignores write/storage cost; the reported problem instead is Columnstore contains many small delta rowgroups. Monitor open and deleted rowgroup ratios.
