Surprised that D is even an option here, it doesn't fit the scenario.

I’m a bit confused about the differences between managed and external tables. I might be overthinking it, but I think option D could also be a possibility since it mentions a specific path.

I recall a practice question where we had to choose between managed and external tables. I think external tables are definitely the way to go here, leaning towards option A.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like managed tables are more common for internal storage. Could it be option B instead?

I think we discussed external tables in class, and I remember that they allow you to specify a location outside the database. So, option A seems right.

I'm leaning towards B. An external table where the schema has a managed location pointing to the specific path in the external location could also be a valid solution.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Is an external table the only option here? I'm wondering if a managed table with a specific location could also work.

Option E: Throw the whole thing out and start over. Who needs tables when you can just store everything in a shoebox?

Hold up, why are we even considering a managed table? Clearly option A is the way to go. External tables are the way to go for this specific use case.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe option C is the way to go, since the catalog can manage the location and it's a managed table.

Option B seems more appropriate. The managed location in the schema would ensure the parquet bronze table is stored in the desired path.
