Databricks Certified Data Analyst Associate Exam - Topic 5 Question 52 Discussion

Which of the following approaches can be used to ingest data directly from cloud-based object storage?
E) Create an external table while specifying the object storage path to LOCATION External tables are tables that are defined in the Databricks metastore using the information stored in a cloud object storage location. External tables do not manage the data, but provide a schema and a table name to query the data. To create an external table, you can use the CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE statement and specify the object storage path to the LOCATION clause. For example, to create an external table named ext_table on a Parquet file stored in S3, you can use the following statement: SQL CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ext_table ( col1 INT, col2 STRING ) STORED AS PARQUET LOCATION 's3://bucket/path/file.parquet' AI-generated code. Review and use carefully.More info on FAQ.
A) Create an external table while specifying the DBFS storage path to FROM
B) Create an external table while specifying the DBFS storage path to PATH
C) It is not possible to directly ingest data from cloud-based object storage
D) Create an external table while specifying the object storage path to FROM

I remember something about DBFS paths, but I can't recall if they apply here. Is it possible to use DBFS for external tables?

I practiced a similar question where LOCATION was emphasized, so I’m leaning towards E as well.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like FROM is used in other contexts, maybe not for external tables.

I think the answer might be E, since I remember that LOCATION is the correct keyword for specifying the path in external tables.
