Question 1 of 30
A database administrator is tasked with optimizing the performance of a SQL database that has been experiencing slow query execution times. They decide to utilize the Query Store feature in Azure SQL Database to analyze the performance of queries over time. After enabling Query Store, they notice that the average execution time of a specific query has increased significantly over the past week. The administrator wants to determine the root cause of this performance degradation. Which of the following actions should they take first to investigate the issue effectively?
Analyze the Query Store's execution statistics to identify any changes in query plans or execution counts over the past week.
Immediately rewrite the query to optimize its performance without further analysis.
Disable Query Store to prevent any further performance impact from monitoring.
Increase the database's DTU (Database Transaction Unit) allocation to improve overall performance without investigating the specific query.
