Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer Associate DP-700 Practice Question

A Fabric lakehouse contains a Delta table named order_transactions that stores 12 months of data. About 50 small Parquet files (10 MB each) are appended every day by an ingestion pipeline. Business analysts access the table through the SQL analytics endpoint, and almost every report applies a filter on the OrderDate column. Report performance has been degrading. You need to improve query latency without changing the ingestion process or modifying any reports. Which action should you perform first?

  • Run VACUUM on the Delta table with a 7-day retention period.

  • Execute OPTIMIZE order_transactions WITH (ZORDER = (OrderDate)).

  • Enable the property delta.autoOptimize.optimizeWrite on the table.

  • Create a cached view that selects only the needed columns, including OrderDate.
