Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals DP-900 Practice Question
You plan to load five years of sales records into Azure Synapse Analytics and create interactive dashboards that show long-term revenue trends. Which characteristic of this solution makes the workload analytical rather than transactional?
It performs many small, random insert and update operations that must commit immediately.
It requires every individual transaction to satisfy strict ACID guarantees.
It reads and aggregates large volumes of historical data to identify trends.
It relies on a fully normalized schema designed for write performance.
Analytical (OLAP) workloads focus on reading and aggregating large volumes of historical data to discover patterns and trends. In contrast, transactional (OLTP) workloads emphasize frequent, small insert or update operations that must commit quickly, use highly normalized schemas, and guarantee strict ACID properties for each individual transaction. Therefore, the defining analytical characteristic in this scenario is the need to scan and summarize extensive historical data, not the requirement for rapid single-row updates or fully normalized storage.
