Table performance in azure SQL database

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

To implement an effective data retention policy and boost performance, consider these actions:

• Partition the table based on a date column, this allows for efficient data management and query performance improvements.
• Keep a fixed number of partitions in the active table. this approach helps maintain a consistent table size and query performance.
• Use columnstore compression to reduce storage requirements and improve query performance
• Schedule regular index maintenance and statistics updates to ensure optimal query performance.

@NIKHIL KUMAR Thank you for reaching out. From my understanding you are looking to apply a data retention policy and improve performance of a table in azure DWH.

these are the points you can look at in term of performance of an azure SQL database table.

• Proper indexing can significantly improve query performance.
• You can increase the compute size or service tier to provide more resources to your database.
• If your table has large data, you can use table and index partitioning.
• Implementing caching can improve the performance of your data architecture https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-sql-blog/how-to-improve-your-azure-sql-performance-by-up-to-800/ba-p/1986568
