Hello,
I have one direct query - created based on Azure Synapse table. The query performance is slow - we are looking into improvements. But is it possible to find out how much it is adding as cost when it reads directly on Synapse table?
If i execute the query will it show me the cost in Azure Portal ? Assuming that since it is direct query and reading data off the tables directly it is adding $$ cost , would like to see how much it is costing us ? is there a way to find that?
Thanks,
Krp
Hello,
Anyone have any tricks to monitor cost for direct queries ?
Thank You
Hi, @Krp
Currently, it's hard to determine the cost upfront.
You can check "Cost Management" -> "Billing" in Azure Portal to access the generated billing information,
