You are troubleshooting a Dedicated SQL Pool in Azure Synapse Analytics where you observe that the `tempdb` storage is frequently spilling over, leading to performance issues. What is the most effective way to mitigate this problem?
Answer Options
A
Increase the size of the `tempdb` storage.

Implement query caching to reduce the workload on `tempdb`.
D
Enable parallel query execution to distribute the workload.
Correct Answer
A: Increase the size of the `tempdb` storage.
Explanation
The correct answer is to increase the size of the `tempdb` storage. This ensures there is enough space for temporary operations without spilling to disk, which can improve performance. Option B is incorrect as it doesn't address the `tempdb` issue. Option C is incorrect as it pertains to a different aspect of database management. Option D is incorrect as it doesn't directly solve the `tempdb` spilling issue.
