Question 108 - DEA-C01 discussion

Report
Export

A company uses Amazon Redshift as its data warehouse. Data encoding is applied to the existing tables of the data warehouse. A data engineer discovers that the compression encoding applied to some of the tables is not the best fit for the data.

The data engineer needs to improve the data encoding for the tables that have sub-optimal encoding.

Which solution will meet this requirement?

A.

Run the ANALYZE command against the identified tables. Manually update the compression encoding of columns based on the output of the command.

Answers
A.

Run the ANALYZE command against the identified tables. Manually update the compression encoding of columns based on the output of the command.

B.

Run the ANALYZE COMPRESSION command against the identified tables. Manually update the compression encoding of columns based on the output of the command.

Answers
B.

Run the ANALYZE COMPRESSION command against the identified tables. Manually update the compression encoding of columns based on the output of the command.

C.

Run the VACUUM REINDEX command against the identified tables.

Answers
C.

Run the VACUUM REINDEX command against the identified tables.

D.

Run the VACUUM RECLUSTER command against the identified tables.

Answers
D.

Run the VACUUM RECLUSTER command against the identified tables.

Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

To improve data encoding for Amazon Redshift tables where sub-optimal encoding has been applied, the correct approach is to analyze the table to determine the optimal encoding based on the data distribution and characteristics.

Option B: Run the ANALYZE COMPRESSION command against the identified tables. Manually update the compression encoding of columns based on the output of the command. The ANALYZE COMPRESSION command in Amazon Redshift analyzes the columnar data and suggests the best compression encoding for each column. The output provides recommendations for changing the current encoding to improve storage efficiency and query performance. After analyzing, you can manually apply the recommended encoding to the columns.

Option A (ANALYZE command) is incorrect because it is primarily used to update statistics on tables, not to analyze or suggest compression encoding.

Options C and D (VACUUM commands) deal with reclaiming disk space and reorganizing data, not optimizing compression encoding.
