You have two Azure SQL databases that contain the same tables and columns.
For each database, you create a query that retrieves data from a table named Customers.
You need to combine the Customer tables into a single table. The solution must minimize the size of the data model and support scheduled refresh in the Power BI service.
What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
The scenario is asking for a way to combine the Customer tables into a single table. The solution must minimize the size of the data model and support scheduled refresh in the Power BI service. Read the completed answer mapping as 1) Append Queries as New; 2) Disable loading the query to the data model.
Merge joins columns by key and would change the width of the result rather than combine same-schema records into one table. Append as New stacks the two same-schema Customers query results into a separate combined query. Disabling load for the staging queries avoids storing duplicate copies while leaving the combined query refreshable. The current skills outline describes this competency as " Merge and append queries " .
