Questions and Answers

What can help improve the performance of Virtual Dataset Performance Repository backend?

  • Performing INNER JOINs only
  • Using analytical window functions
  • Using PIT tables (correct)
  • Avoiding joining gsr_ledts

Which type of join should be used in the Virtual Dataset Performance Repository backend to improve performance?

  • OUTER JOIN
  • FULL JOIN
  • INNER JOIN (correct)
  • LEFT JOIN

Why is the use of analytical window functions slow in the Virtual Dataset Performance Repository backend?
