Which type of table should you use for each table?

HOTSPOT

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

All the dimension tables will be less than 5 GB after compression, and the fact table will be approximately 6 TB.

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.

Answer:

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.
