Question 290
A finance team loads relational source tables into a Fabric Warehouse. The current environment exhibits the following problem: an upstream schema gains a nullable column without the target contract being updated. Which step preserves the intended data behavior?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Validate schema drift and migrate the target intentionally. A compatible change still needs controlled mapping and testing.
Incorrect Answers
The target contains partially updated balances when a job fails. Publishing validated batches avoids exposing incomplete state.
Nightly full-refresh processing exceeds the available window. Change-based loading reduces data movement and target rewrites.
A table contains inserted, updated, and deleted records but only inserts are copied. Full change fidelity requires more than append-only processing.
