HOTSPOT

You have a data model that you plan to implement in a data warehouse in Azure Synapse Analytics as shown in the following exhibit.

All the dimension tables will be less than 2 GB after compression, and the fact table will be approximately 6 TB. The dimension tables will be relatively static with very few data inserts and updates.

Which type of table should you use for each table? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Question 86
Correct answer: Question 86

Explanation:

Box 1: Replicated

Replicated tables are ideal for small star-schema dimension tables, because the fact table is often distributed on a column that is not compatible with the connected dimension tables. If this case applies to your schema, consider changing small dimension tables currently implemented as round-robin to replicated.

Box 2: Replicated

Box 3: Replicated

Box 4: Hash-distributed

For Fact tables use hash-distribution with clustered columnstore index. Performance improves when two hash tables are joined on the same distribution column.
