Why each option
To resolve query issues for a serverless SQL pool and minimize user impact, data should be moved to a dedicated SQL pool.
Serverless SQL pools in Azure Synapse Analytics do not support manual statistics updates; they rely on automatic query optimization.
An Apache Spark pool is primarily for big data processing and machine learning, not typically the go-to solution for resolving SQL query performance issues for end-users.
The sp_set_process_data_limit stored procedure is not applicable to Azure Synapse serverless SQL pools for resolving general query performance issues.
A dedicated SQL pool offers provisioned compute resources and optimized performance for complex queries and large datasets, making it suitable for resolving persistent query issues that a serverless SQL pool might struggle with due to its on-demand nature. Migrating to this more robust environment provides a stable and performant query experience for users, addressing the core problem.
