A sample question, with the answer
A Delta Sync vector index's source table receives new rows. What keeps the index current?
- aNothing; you rebuild the index on a schedule you own
- bA trigger you must write on the source table
- cThe index syncs with the source Delta table automaticallycorrect
- dOnly OPTIMIZE on the source table refreshes it
Why: A Delta Sync index tracks its source Delta table and updates as the table changes, continuously or on triggered syncs depending on configuration. That is the point of choosing it over a Direct Access index, where you manage updates yourself.
