How can a data analyst determine if query results were pulled from the cache?

Answer options

• A. Go to the Query History tab and click on the text of the query. The slideout shows if the results came from the cache.
• B. Go to the Alerts tab and check the Cache Status alert.
• C. Go to the Queries tab and click on Cache Status. The status will be green if the results from the last run came from the cache.
• D. Go to the SQL Warehouse (formerly SQL Endpoints) tab and click on Cache. The Cache file will show the contents of the cache.
• E. Go to the Data tab and click Last Query. The details of the query will show if the results came from the cache.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it specifically mentions checking the Query History tab and provides a clear method to see if the results came from the cache. The other options either refer to incorrect tabs or do not provide a direct way to verify the cache status of query results.
