[All Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate Questions]

A data engineering team has two tables. The first table march_transactions is a collection of all retail transactions in the month of March. The second table april_transactions is a collection of all retail transactions in the month of April. There are no duplicate records between the tables.

Which of the following commands should be run to create a new table all_transactions that contains all records from march_transactions and april_transactions without duplicate records?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

In Databricks, you can use different languages within the same notebook by using magic commands. Magic commands are special commands that start with a percentage sign (%) and allow you to change the behavior of the cell. To use SQL within a cell of a Python notebook, you can add %sql to the first line of the cell. This will tell Databricks to interpret the rest of the cell as SQL code and execute it against the default database. You can also specify a different database by using the USE statement. The result of the SQL query will be displayed as a table or a chart, depending on the output mode. You can also assign the result to a Python variable by using the -o option. For example, %sql -o df SELECT * FROM my_table will run the SQL query and store the result as a pandas DataFrame in the Python variable df. Option A is incorrect, as it is possible to use SQL in a Python notebook using magic commands. Option B is incorrect, as attaching the cell to a SQL endpoint is not necessary and will not change the language of the cell. Option C is incorrect, as simply writing SQL syntax in the cell will result in a syntax error, as the cell will still be interpreted as Python code. Option E is incorrect, as changing the default language of the notebook to SQL will affect all the cells, not just one.Reference:Use SQL in Notebooks - Knowledge Base - Noteable, [SQL magic commands - Databricks], [Databricks SQL Guide - Databricks]

I doubt option E would work, MERGE isn’t a standard SQL command for this.

Wait, why would you use INNER JOIN? That doesn't fit the requirement.

I thought OUTER JOIN was for including all records, but that might not help with duplicates either. I'm confused about the right command.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like UNION is definitely the way to go for combining distinct records.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about INNER JOIN not being suitable for this since it requires matching records.

I think we need to combine the two tables without duplicates, so maybe UNION is the right choice?

This is a good one! I think the key is understanding the difference between UNION and INTERSECT. UNION will combine the two tables and remove duplicates, while INTERSECT will only keep the records that are present in both tables. Since the question says there are no duplicates, UNION is the way to go.

I'm a little confused by the OUTER JOIN option. Isn't that for combining tables with matching keys, not just concatenating two tables? I'm leaning towards UNION, but I want to double-check that before submitting my answer.

Okay, I've got this. Since the question specifies there are no duplicates between the tables, UNION is the way to go. That will combine the two tables while automatically removing any duplicates. Easy peasy!

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The wording is a bit tricky - it says there are no duplicate records between the tables, so I'm not sure if UNION or INTERSECT is the right approach. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This looks like a straightforward SQL question. I think the key is to combine the two tables in a way that avoids duplicates, so I'll focus on the UNION and INTERSECT options.

Okay, let's see here. I remember from the course materials that MCOs usually have a formal program for overseeing delegated activities. I think option D sounds like it's describing the purpose of that program, so I'll go with that.

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. The key is that PPPoE requires the server and client to be in the same broadcast domain. With a router in between, that wouldn't work. B is the correct answer.

Okay, I've got this. An e-commerce system with electronic data interchange and electronic funds transfer should lead to faster cash flow and lower inventory and receivables, so the answer is A.
