Suggested Answer: E

: A table is a data entity that is stored in a physical location and can be accessed by other data engineers in other sessions. A table can be created from one or more tables using theCREATE TABLEorCREATE TABLE AS SELECTcommands. A table can also be registered from an existing DataFrame using thespark.catalog.createTablemethod. A table can be queried using SQL or DataFrame APIs. A table can also be updated, deleted, or appended using theMERGE INTOcommand or the DeltaTable API.Reference:

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about Views being more for virtual representations. Could it be a View instead?

I think the answer might be a Table since it needs to be saved physically and used by other engineers.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm stuck between C - View and E - Table. I'll need to carefully consider the pros and cons of each option to determine the best fit for the requirements given in the question.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The key details are that the data entity needs to be shareable and persisted. That points to C - View as the best choice. Views are a great way to encapsulate data from multiple tables and make it accessible to other users.

Okay, let me break this down. The data entity needs to be reusable and saved to a physical location. That rules out A - Database and B - Function. I'm leaning towards C - View, but I'll double-check the differences between that and E - Table.

This seems like a straightforward question. I think the answer is C - View, since a view can be used by other data engineers and it can be saved to a physical location.

I bet the answer is C. Views are just so darn convenient, you know? Plus, who doesn't love a good data entity that can be reused across sessions?

I agree with you, but I still think C) View is the best option for reusability and convenience.

I think the answer is A) Database. It's a more permanent solution for storing the data entity.

A function could work, but then you'd have to call it every time you need the data. A view seems like the way to go here.

Temporary views are great for quick, one-off analyses, but this sounds like a more long-term solution. I'd go with a regular view.
