Join between Products and ProductSubCategories:
Use an INNER JOIN.
The goal is to include only products that are assigned to a subcategory. An INNER JOIN ensures that only matching records (i.e., products with a valid subcategory) are included.
Join between ProductSubCategories and ProductCategories:
Use an INNER JOIN.
Similar to the above logic, we want to include only subcategories assigned to a valid product category. An INNER JOIN ensures this condition is met.
WHERE Clause
Condition: IsActive = 1
Only active products (where IsActive equals 1) should be included in the gold layer. This filters out inactive products.

Explanation:

When using the Copy data activity in a data pipeline to move data from Snowflake to a Fabric warehouse, the process often involves intermediate staging to handle data efficiently, especially for large datasets or cross-cloud data transfers.
Staging involves temporarily storing data in an intermediate location (e.g., Blob storage or Azure Data Lake) before loading it into the target destination.
For cross-cloud data transfers (e.g., from Snowflake to Fabric), enabling staging ensures data is processed and stored temporarily in an efficient format for transfer.
Staging is especially useful when dealing with large datasets, ensuring the process is optimized and avoids memory limitations.

The input JSON contains the configuration details and parameters passed to the Copy data activity during execution, including the dynamically generated SQL query.
Viewing the input JSON for the failed pipeline run provides direct insight into what query was executed at the time of failure.
