Question 790
An engineering group tunes Fabric Warehouse query plans. The current environment exhibits the following problem: source data types differ between joined keys and force repeated implicit conversions. What should the administrator implement or verify?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Normalize compatible join-key types in the data contract. Type alignment can improve both correctness and plan efficiency.
Incorrect Answers
A large join lacks a selective predicate already known to the business. Filtering less input can lower redistribution cost.
A query optimizer chooses poor joins after a sudden change in table cardinality. Statistics affect row-count estimates and join strategy.
A user proposes a broad forced execution-plan hint without baseline evidence. Plan hints require evidence and can reduce robustness.
