Developing SQL Data Models — Question 23

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets the stated goals.
A company has an e-commerce website. When a customer places an order, information about the transaction is inserted into tables in a Microsoft SQL Server relational database named OLTP1. The company has a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) instance that is configured to use Tabular mode. SSAS uses data from OLTP1 to populate a data model.
Sales analysts build reports based on the SSAS model. Reports must be able to access data as soon as it is available in the relational database.
You need to configure and deploy an Analysis Services project to the Analysis Services instance that allows near real-time data source access.
Solution: In the Deployment Option property for the report, you set the Query Mode to InMemory.
Does the solution meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The solution does not meet the goal because setting the Query Mode to InMemory means that data is loaded into memory, which does not allow for near real-time access to the latest data from the relational database. Instead, a DirectQuery mode should be used to enable immediate access to the most current data.
