Abstract

zations-for-columnstore-compression">here</a>.</p><p id="fc40">An example of over-configured workload management is when resources are reserved for a workload group even when there are no active requests in it. When setting up a workload group, you can define the minimum % of resources that are always reserved for the group. This is very useful in cases when you have to ensure that SLAs are met, but it should always be done with caution. If such strict isolation of resources is not required, it’s better to use a shared resource pool in combination with different workload importances.</p><h2 id="3041">3. Using clustered columnstore index for staging</h2><p id="23d4">By default, dedicated SQL pool will set up tables using clustered columnstore indexes. These are highly compressed, column-based data structures optimized for analytical workloads on large tables, but they can be expensive to build.</p><p id="5dbe">When loading data into a clustered columnstore index, the rows are first split into row groups (batches) which then are separated into column segments before each of these segments get compressed.</p><figure id="c79e"><img src="https://cdn-images-1.readmedium.com/v2/resize:fit:800/1*NUSN2jBohgHVlSGhjbgToA.png"><figcaption><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/indexes/columnstore-indexes-data-loading-guidance?view=sql-server-ver16">Source</a></figcaption></figure><p id="0b0b">Because building a clustered columnstore index is a resource intensive process, using them for temporary staging tables creates an unnecessary overhead without providing any benefits. When comparing the throughput of bulk loading processes for clustered columnstore indexes and heap tables, a 2–3x difference can be observed (<a href="https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sql-server-blog/data-loading-performance-considerations-with-clustered/ba-p/305223">link</a>).</p><p id="1bcf">While avoiding the aforementioned 3 mistakes when working with a Synapse dedicated SQL pool can help you save cost by utilizing your resources more efficiently, finding the right combination of tools for your business needs can be challenging.
