Question 70
A ledger table should be physically organized by quarter because retention removes old intervals. What observable outcome proves the recommendation worked?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Partitioning enables manageability and elimination only when physical alignment and filters support it. The observation “A bounded partition switch/retention test succeeds and query pruning works for dated predicates” directly confirms the chosen action worked for this situation: A ledger table should be physically organized by quarter because retention removes old intervals.
Incorrect Answers
Columnstore organizes and compresses columns for analytic scans but can cost more for some OLTP mutations. This observation would not establish that the required result occurred for A ledger table should be physically organized by quarter because retention removes old intervals. The confirming test is: A bounded partition switch/retention test succeeds and query pruning works for dated predicates.
In-memory OLTP uses a different engine/index architecture and requires explicit feature/compatibility assessment. This observation would not establish that the required result occurred for A ledger table should be physically organized by quarter because retention removes old intervals. The confirming test is: A bounded partition switch/retention test succeeds and query pruning works for dated predicates.
Copilot availability depends on supported platform settings and entitlements, not only local IDE configuration. This observation would not establish that the required result occurred for A ledger table should be physically organized by quarter because retention removes old intervals. The confirming test is: A bounded partition switch/retention test succeeds and query pruning works for dated predicates.
