11). What is disadvantage of context filters?
Ans: *The context filter is not frequently changed by the user – if the filter is changed the database must recompute and rewrite the temporary table, slowing performance.
*When you set a dimension to context, Tableau creates a temporary table that will require a reload each time the view is initiated. For Excel, Access and text data sources, the temporary table created is in an Access table format. For SQL Server, MySQL and Oracle data sources, you must have permission to create a temporary table on your server. For multidimensional data sources, or cubes, temporary tables are not created, and context filters only define which filters are independent and dependent.
