Tableau Exam TCA-C01 Topic 3 Question 14 Discussion

Reviewing and optimizing the database queries used in Tableau workbooks for efficiency The first course of action when dealing with slow query response times from external databases, as indicated by a performance recording, should be to review and optimize the database queries used in Tableau workbooks. Optimizing queries can include simplifying them, reducing the amount of data queried, or improving the structure of the queries. This directly addresses the inefficiencies in the queries, potentially improving response times without the need for major infrastructure changes. Option A is incorrect because upgrading external database servers is a more resource-intensive solution and should be considered only if query optimization is not sufficient. Option C is incorrect as implementing caching mechanisms might alleviate some issues but does not address the root cause of slow query performance. Option D is incorrect because restricting the size of data ex-tracts does not necessarily improve the efficiency of the queries themselves.
