Question 87

Data is being imported and stored as JSON in a VARIANT column. Query performance was fine, but most recently, poor query performance has been reported.

What could be causing this?

    Correct Answer: A

    Query performance can be negatively impacted when JSON data includes null values because such scenarios often require additional processing steps or checks during data retrieval. This added overhead can slow down query performance, in contrast to more consistent and predictable data formats.
