Which type of data store should be used for V-Order optimized Delta tables?

Using a lakehouse for V-Order optimized Delta tables is ideal because a lakehouse architecture integrates the benefits of data lakes and data warehouses. This hybrid approach allows for the management of both structured and unstructured data while enabling efficient querying and data processing.

Delta Lake, which underpins Delta tables, provides ACID transaction support, scalable metadata handling, and unifies streaming and batch data processing. In the context of V-Order, these tables benefit from the high performance associated with structured data processing while allowing for the flexibility of handling diverse data formats typical in a lakehouse setup.

Additionally, a lakehouse supports advanced analytics and machine learning use cases, which are often required for data processed in Delta tables. This combination makes it a suitable choice for applications that need optimized performance with evolving data needs.

The other options, such as Azure SQL databases or KQL databases, are more suited for traditional relational data tasks and querying but do not offer the same level of support for large scale and diverse data management found in a lakehouse. Meanwhile, a warehouse is typically geared towards analytics on structured data but lacks the flexibility and capabilities for handling both structured and semi-structured data as effectively as a lakehouse can.
