You have a Fabric tenant that contains a warehouse named DW1 and a lakehouse named LH1. DW1 contains a table named Sales.Product. LH1 contains a table named Sales.Orders.
You plan to schedule an automated process that will create a new point-in-time (PIT) table named Sales.ProductOrder in DW1. Sales.ProductOrder will be built by using the results of a query that will join Sales.Product and Sales.Orders.
You need to ensure that the types of columns in Sales. ProductOrder match the column types in the source tables. The solution must minimize the number of operations required to create the new table.
Which operation should you use?

I think A) CTAS is the best choice. It creates the table directly from the query.

But CLONE won’t work if you need to join tables. CTAS is more flexible.

I’m leaning towards D) CLONE. It’s efficient if the structure is the same.

I wonder if CREATE TABLE AS CLONE OF could work, but I think it’s more for duplicating existing tables rather than joining data from two different sources.

I feel like the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW could be useful, but it might not be the best fit for a one-time table creation like this.
LE

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about using INSERT INTO for appending data. Would that be efficient here?

I think the CTAS option might be the best choice since it allows you to create the new table directly from the query results.
