A table customerLocations exists with the following schema: * 2 points

id STRING, date STRING, city STRING, country STRING

A senior data engineer wants to create a new table from this table using

CREATE TABLE AS SELECT statements result in tables that do not support schemas.

CREATE TABLE AS SELECT statements adopt schema details from the source table
and query.

CREATE TABLE AS SELECT statements assign all columns the type STRING.

CREATE TABLE AS SELECT statements result in tables where schemas are optional.

CREATE TABLE AS SELECT statements infer the schema by scanning the data.

The below code shown block contains an error. The code block is * 2 points
intended to return a DataFrame containing only the rows from DataFrame
storesDF where the value in DataFrame storesDF's "sqft" column is less
than or equal to 25,000. Assume DataFrame storesDF is the only defined
language variable. Identify the error. Code block:

storesDF.filter(sqft <= 25000)

The column name sqft needs to be quoted like storesDF.filter("sqft" <= 25000).

The sign in the logical condition inside filter() needs to be changed from <= to >=.

The sign in the logical condition inside filter() needs to be changed from <= to >.

The column name sqft needs to be quoted and wrapped in the col() function like
resDF.filter(col("sqft") <= 25000).

The column name sqft needs to be wrapped in the col() function like
storesDF.filter(col(sqft) <= 25000)

A data engineering team needs to query a Delta table to extract rows that * 2 points
all meet the same condition. However, the team has noticed that the query
is running slowly. The team has already tuned the size of the data files.

condition are sparsely located throughout each of the data files. Based on
the scenario, which of the following optimization techniques could speed
up the query?

Write as a Parquet file

Tuning the file size

Data skipping

Bin-packing

Option 6

Z-Ordering

A data engineer is overwriting data in a table by deleting the table and * 2 points

recreating the table. Another data engineer suggests that this is inefficient
and the table should simply be overwritten instead. Which of the following
reasons to overwrite the table instead of deleting and recreating the table
is incorrect?

Overwriting a table is efficient because no files need to be deleted

Overwriting a table results in a clean table history for logging and audit purposes.

Overwriting a table maintains the old version of the table for Time Travel.

Overwriting a table is an atomic operation and will not leave the table in an
unfinished state

Overwriting a table allows for concurrent queries to be completed while in progress.

A data engineering team has created a series of tables using Parquet * 2 points

data stored in an external system. The team is noticing that after

appending new rows to the data in the external system, their queries within
Databricks are not returning the new rows. They identify the caching of the
previous data as the cause of this issue. Which of the following
approaches will ensure that the data returned by queries is always up-to-
date?

The tables should be altered to include metadata to not cache

The tables should be refreshed in the writing cluster before the next query is run

The tables should be stored in a cloud-based external system

The tables should be converted to the Delta format

The tables should be updated before the next query is run
