Changing the whole notebook to SQL seems unnecessary.

I feel like changing the default language of the notebook to SQL might not be the right approach, but I can't recall the exact details.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think the answer was about changing the cell type with a specific command.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think you can’t just write SQL directly in a Python cell without some kind of prefix.

I remember something about using magic commands in notebooks, maybe adding %sql at the start of a cell?

The key here is that the data engineer wants to use SQL in a specific cell, while keeping the rest of the notebook in Python. Based on that, I think the best approach is to use the %sql magic command, which is option D.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The question says we want to use SQL in a Python notebook, without changing the other cells. That means we need a way to switch the language just for that specific cell. I'm pretty sure the %sql magic command is the way to do that.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know we can use SQL in Databricks notebooks, but I'm not sure of the exact syntax. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems like a pretty straightforward question. I'm pretty confident the answer is D - adding %sql to the first line of the cell.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I thought Databricks notebooks were either Python or SQL, not a mix. But if we can use SQL in a Python notebook, then I guess the answer must be D - adding %sql to the cell.

Okay, I remember that Type 4 LSAs are used to advertise ASBR routers. Since R1 is the ASBR, it should be generating the Type 4 LSA.
