I’m surprised this is how it works! I thought it would be different.

No way, it's definitely not a managed table.

Wait, isn't it possible for a managed table to be created too?

I think an external table will be created in the mounted storage.

Totally agree, option B makes the most sense!

I believe it's definitely not E, since the DBFS root isn't mentioned in the setup. B seems like the most plausible option.

I’m a bit confused about the difference between logical and managed tables here. I thought logical tables don’t actually store data.

I remember practicing a similar question where we discussed managed vs external tables, and I feel like this one is leaning towards external too.

I think the answer might be B, since the table is created in the external storage container. But I'm not entirely sure.

The question mentions that all users on the finance team are members of the finance group, so I think that's an important detail to consider when determining how the table will be created. Option B seems most likely, but I'll double-check my understanding.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the difference between a logical table and a managed table in this context. I'll need to review those Databricks table types again before selecting an answer.

Based on the code provided, it looks like they are creating an external table in the mounted storage container. I'm pretty confident that option B is the correct answer.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The key information is that the finance team has an external storage container mounted at /mnt/finance_eda_bucket, and they are creating a database and table using that location.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the details correctly before answering.

That could be a possibility too, as long as the table is created in the mounted storage container.

I'm not sure, but I think it might be D) An managed table will be created in the storage container mounted to /mnt/finance eda bucket.
NI
Nilsa 1 year ago
I agree with Elly, because the external object storage container is mounted to that location.
LO

Option D seems like the most logical choice here. A managed table will be created in the storage container mounted to /mnt/finance eda bucket. It makes sense to use a managed table since the location is specified.

Yes, creating a managed table in the specified storage container is the way to go. Option D is the best choice here.

I agree, option D does seem like the most logical choice. It makes sense to use a managed table in this scenario.

Haha, I bet the finance team is really excited about this new database. I wonder if they'll use it to track all their 'creative accounting' strategies.
AD

I think the answer is C. A logical table will persist the physical plan to the Hive Metastore in the Databricks control plane. The code doesn't mention creating a managed table, so it must be a logical table.
CH

The correct answer is B. An external table will be created in the storage container mounted to /mnt/finance eda bucket. The code specifies the location of the table, which means it will be an external table.
IV

That makes sense. The code clearly indicates the location for the table, so it must be an external table.
