Question 430
A report needs only two years of transactions but the source query loads ten years into memory. Which configuration should the team choose?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Row pruning reduces compressed storage, refresh work, and scanning, supporting load only needed transaction history.
Incorrect Answers
Distinct long strings compress poorly and enlarge columnar storage. That targets reduce unnecessary high-cardinality memory, not load only needed transaction history.
Coarser date values have lower cardinality than millisecond timestamps. It may suit compress date-grain reporting fields, not load only needed transaction history.
Avoiding duplicate key fields saves memory without breaking relationships. It is useful for keeping required keys without redundancy, not for load only needed transaction history.
