Скачать или смотреть Azure Synapse Analytics | Data Distribution Strategy and Best Practices

In any distributed system, for efficient parallel processing and for better performance, the data distribution strategy to store data evenly and colocation of data across nodes play important roles.

In this video, in the context of Azure Synapse Analytics – dedicated SQL pool, I am going to walk you through data distribution strategy - by way of distributions, different data strategies like round robin and hash and finally replicated table - and best practices to provide prescriptive guidelines in-terms of when to use which and what are the consideration for better performance.
