Databricks Exam Databricks-Certified-Professional-Data-Engineer Topic 1 Question 6 Discussion

The view updates represents an incremental batch of all newly ingested data to be inserted or updated in the customers table.

The following logic is used to process these records.

MERGE INTO customers

USING (

SELECT updates.customer_id as merge_ey, updates .*

FROM updates

UNION ALL

SELECT NULL as merge_key, updates .*

FROM updates JOIN customers

ON updates.customer_id = customers.customer_id

WHERE customers.current = true AND updates.address <> customers.address

) staged_updates

ON customers.customer_id = mergekey

WHEN MATCHED AND customers. current = true AND customers.address <> staged_updates.address THEN

UPDATE SET current = false, end_date = staged_updates.effective_date

WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN

INSERT (customer_id, address, current, effective_date, end_date)

VALUES (staged_updates.customer_id, staged_updates.address, true, staged_updates.effective_date, null)

Which statement describes this implementation?
