Exec Requests

It should be D. Key Information Provided by sys.dm_pdw_exec_requests: 1. Request ID (request_id): A unique identifier for each query request that was executed or is in progress. You can use this ID to trace the specific query's progress and status. 2. Status (status): The current status of the query. It can show values such as: o Running: The query is currently being executed. o Finished: The query has completed. o Aborted: The query was canceled or failed. o Queued: The query is waiting to be executed. 3. Start Time (start_time): The timestamp when the request started execution. 4. End Time (end_time): The timestamp when the request finished execution (if completed). If still running, this will be NULL. 5. Duration (total_elapsed_time): The total amount of time (in milliseconds) that the request has been running. This can help identify long-running queries.

i think A

Sql Requests Explanation: This diagnostic setting captures information about SQL requests, including the start and end times of each query. This is directly relevant to the requirement of capturing the start and end times of each query completed in the SQL pool. Reason Chosen: It directly addresses the requirement to capture the start and end times of each query. For D, It captures execution details but may not provide the specific start and end times of each query as required.

A. Sql Requests. This setting helps monitor and capture essential information such as the start and end times of queries.

ExecRequests - "Information about SQL requests or queries in an Azure Synapse dedicated SQL pool." SqlRequests - "Information about query distributions of the steps of SQL requests/queries in an Azure Synapse dedicated SQL pool." Key difference - query distributions of the steps.

A. Sql Requests The Sql Requests diagnostic setting captures detailed information about SQL requests, including the start and end times of each query, which is essential for monitoring query performance.

Sql Requests captures the start and end times of each query executed in the pool, as well as other relevant details like the status, duration, and resource consumption of the query. This diagnostic setting allows you to track query performance, including the time a query starts and completes, which is essential for auditing and performance monitoring.

This diagnostic setting captures detailed information about each SQL request executed in the Synapse dedicated SQL pool, including the start and end times, duration, and status of the queries. This is the most appropriate setting for monitoring query execution details.

D seems correct, I was wondering if B could also be correct but apparently it only gives start and end times for the steps of a query and not for the query itself.
