NEW QUESTION # 16
Consider the following two statements:
Statement 1:
Statement 2:
Which of the following describes how the result sets will differ for each statement when they are run in Databricks SQL?
- A. Both statements will fail because Databricks SQL does not support those join types.
- B. When the first statement is run, all rows from the customers table will be returned and only the customer_id from the orders table will be returned. When the second statement is run, only those rows in the customers table that do not have at least one match with the orders table on customer_id will be returned.
- C. The first statement will return all data from the customers table and matching data from the orders table. The second statement will return all data from the orders table and matching data from the customers table. Any missing data will be filled in with NULL.
- D. When the first statement is run, only rows from the customers table that have at least one match with the orders table on customer_id will be returned. When the second statement is run, only those rows in the customers table that do not have at least one match with the orders table on customer_id will be returned.
- E. There is no difference between the result sets for both statements.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Based on the images you sent, the two statements are SQL queries for different types of joins between the customers and orders tables. A join is a way of combining the rows from two table references based on some criteria. The join type determines how the rows are matched and what kind of result set is returned. The first statement is a query for a LEFT SEMI JOIN, which returns only the rows from the left table reference (customers) that have a match with the right table reference (orders) on the join condition (customer_id). The second statement is a query for a LEFT ANTI JOIN, which returns only the rows from the left table reference (customers) that have no match with the right table reference (orders) on the join condition (customer_id). Therefore, the result sets for the two statements will differ in the following way:
The first statement will return a subset of the customers table that contains only the customers who have placed at least one order. The number of rows returned will be less than or equal to the number of rows in the customers table, depending on how many customers have orders. The number of columns returned will be the same as the number of columns in the customers table, as the LEFT SEMI JOIN does not include any columns from the orders table.
The second statement will return a subset of the customers table that contains only the customers who have not placed any order. The number of rows returned will be less than or equal to the number of rows in the customers table, depending on how many customers have no orders. The number of columns returned will be the same as the number of columns in the customers table, as the LEFT ANTI JOIN does not include any columns from the orders table.
The other options are not correct because:
A) The first statement will not return all data from the customers table, as it will exclude the customers who have no orders. The second statement will not return all data from the orders table, as it will exclude the orders that have a matching customer. Neither statement will fill in any missing data with NULL, as they do not return any columns from the other table.
C) There is a difference between the result sets for both statements, as explained above. The LEFT SEMI JOIN and the LEFT ANTI JOIN are not equivalent operations and will produce different outputs.
D) Both statements will not fail, as Databricks SQL does support those join types. Databricks SQL supports various join types, including INNER, LEFT OUTER, RIGHT OUTER, FULL OUTER, LEFT SEMI, LEFT ANTI, and CROSS. You can also use NATURAL, USING, or LATERAL keywords to specify different join criteria.
E) The first statement will not return only the customer_id from the orders table, as it will return all columns from the customers table. The second statement is correct, but it is not the only difference between the result sets.
NEW QUESTION # 17
A data analyst runs the following command:
INSERT INTO stakeholders.suppliers TABLE stakeholders.new_suppliers;
What is the result of running this command?
- A. The suppliers table now contains both the data it had before the command was run and the data from the new suppliers table, and any duplicate data is deleted.
- B. The suppliers table now contains only the data from the new suppliers table.
- C. The suppliers table now contains the data from the new suppliers table, and the new suppliers table now contains the data from the suppliers table.
- D. The suppliers table now contains both the data it had before the command was run and the data from the new suppliers table, including any duplicate data.
- E. The command fails because it is written incorrectly.
Answer: E
Explanation:
The command INSERT INTO stakeholders.suppliers TABLE stakeholders.new_suppliers is not a valid syntax for inserting data into a table in Databricks SQL. According to the documentation12, the correct syntax for inserting data into a table is either:
INSERT { OVERWRITE | INTO } [ TABLE ] table_name [ PARTITION clause ] [ ( column_name [, ...] ) | BY NAME ] query INSERT INTO [ TABLE ] table_name REPLACE WHERE predicate query The command in the question is missing the OVERWRITE or INTO keyword, and the query part that specifies the source of the data to be inserted. The TABLE keyword is optional and can be omitted. The PARTITION clause and the column list are also optional and depend on the table schema and the data source. Therefore, the command in the question will fail with a syntax error.

NEW QUESTION # 18
A data analyst has set up a SQL query to run every four hours on a SQL endpoint, but the SQL endpoint is taking too long to start up with each run.
Which of the following changes can the data analyst make to reduce the start-up time for the endpoint while managing costs?
- A. Reduce the SQL endpoint cluster size
- B. Turn off the Auto stop feature
- C. Increase the minimum scaling value
- D. Increase the SQL endpoint cluster size
- E. Use a Serverless SQL endpoint
Answer: E
Explanation:
A Serverless SQL endpoint is a type of SQL endpoint that does not require a dedicated cluster to run queries. Instead, it uses a shared pool of resources that can scale up and down automatically based on the demand. This means that a Serverless SQL endpoint can start up much faster than a SQL endpoint that uses a cluster, and it can also save costs by only paying for the resources that are used. A Serverless SQL endpoint is suitable for ad-hoc queries and exploratory analysis, but it may not offer the same level of performance and isolation as a SQL endpoint that uses a cluster. Therefore, a data analyst should consider the trade-offs between speed, cost, and quality when choosing between a Serverless SQL endpoint and a SQL endpoint that uses a cluster. Reference: Databricks SQL endpoints, Serverless SQL endpoints, SQL endpoint clusters
NEW QUESTION # 19
A data analyst created and is the owner of the managed table my_ table. They now want to change ownership of the table to a single other user using Data Explorer.
Which of the following approaches can the analyst use to complete the task?
- A. Edit the Owner field in the table page by removing their own account
- B. Edit the Owner field in the table page by selecting All Users
- C. Edit the Owner field in the table page by selecting the new owner's account
- D. Edit the Owner field in the table page by removing all access
- E. Edit the Owner field in the table page by selecting the Admins group
Answer: C
Explanation:
The Owner field in the table page shows the current owner of the table and allows the owner to change it to another user or group. To change the ownership of the table, the owner can click on the Owner field and select the new owner from the drop-down list. This will transfer the ownership of the table to the selected user or group and remove the previous owner from the list of table access control entries1. The other options are incorrect because:
A) Removing the owner's account from the Owner field will not change the ownership of the table, but will make the table ownerless2.
B) Selecting All Users from the Owner field will not change the ownership of the table, but will grant all users access to the table3.
D) Selecting the Admins group from the Owner field will not change the ownership of the table, but will grant the Admins group access to the table3.
E) Removing all access from the Owner field will not change the ownership of the table, but will revoke all access to the table4. Reference:

2: Ownerless tables
3: Table access control
4: Revoke access to a table
NEW QUESTION # 20
A data team has been given a series of projects by a consultant that need to be implemented in the Databricks Lakehouse Platform.
Which of the following projects should be completed in Databricks SQL?
- A. Combining two data sources into a single, comprehensive dataset
- B. Automating complex notebook-based workflows with multiple tasks
- C. Testing the quality of data as it is imported from a source
- D. Segmenting customers into like groups using a clustering algorithm
- E. Tracking usage of feature variables for machine learning projects
Answer: A
Explanation:
Databricks SQL is a service that allows users to query data in the lakehouse using SQL and create visualizations and dashboards1. One of the common use cases for Databricks SQL is to combine data from different sources and formats into a single, comprehensive dataset that can be used for further analysis or reporting2. For example, a data analyst can use Databricks SQL to join data from a CSV file and a Parquet file, or from a Delta table and a JDBC table, and create a new table or view that contains the combined data3. This can help simplify the data management and governance, as well as improve the data quality and consistency. Reference:

NEW QUESTION # 21
A data analyst has been asked to use the below table sales_table to get the percentage rank of products within region by the sales:
The result of the query should look like this:
Which of the following queries will accomplish this task?
A)
B)
C)
- A. Option B
- B. Option A
- C. Option D
- D. Option C
Answer: A
Explanation:
The correct query to get the percentage rank of products within region by the sales is option B. This query uses the PERCENT_RANK() window function to calculate the relative rank of each product within each region based on the sales amount. The window function is partitioned by region and ordered by sales in descending order. The result is aliased as rank and displayed along with the region and product columns. The other options are incorrect because:
A) Option A uses the RANK() window function instead of the PERCENT_RANK() function. The RANK() function returns the rank of each row within the partition, but not the percentage rank. Also, the query does not have a GROUP BY clause, which is required for aggregate functions like SUM().
C) Option C uses the DENSE_RANK() window function instead of the PERCENT_RANK() function. The DENSE_RANK() function returns the rank of each row within the partition, but not the percentage rank. Also, the query does not have a GROUP BY clause, which is required for aggregate functions like SUM().
D) Option D uses the ROW_NUMBER() window function instead of the PERCENT_RANK() function. The ROW_NUMBER() function returns the sequential number of each row within the partition, but not the percentage rank. Also, the query does not have a GROUP BY clause, which is required for aggregate functions like SUM(). Reference:

NEW QUESTION # 22
How can a data analyst determine if query results were pulled from the cache?
- A. Go to the Queries tab and click on Cache Status. The status will be green if the results from the last run came from the cache.
- B. Go to the Query History tab and click on the text of the query. The slideout shows if the results came from the cache.
- C. Go to the Alerts tab and check the Cache Status alert.
- D. Go to the Data tab and click Last Query. The details of the query will show if the results came from the cache.
- E. Go to the SQL Warehouse (formerly SQL Endpoints) tab and click on Cache. The Cache file will show the contents of the cache.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Databricks SQL uses a query cache to store the results of queries that have been executed previously. This improves the performance and efficiency of repeated queries. To determine if a query result was pulled from the cache, you can go to the Query History tab in the Databricks SQL UI and click on the text of the query. A slideout will appear on the right side of the screen, showing the query details, including the cache status. If the result came from the cache, the cache status will show "Cached". If the result did not come from the cache, the cache status will show "Not cached". You can also see the cache hit ratio, which is the percentage of queries that were served from the cache. Reference: The answer can be verified from Databricks SQL documentation which provides information on how to use the query cache and how to check the cache status. Reference link: Databricks SQL - Query Cache
NEW QUESTION # 23
In which of the following situations will the mean value and median value of variable be meaningfully different?
- A. When the variable contains a lot of extreme outliers
- B. When the variable is of the boolean type
- C. When the variable contains no missing values
- D. When the variable is of the categorical type
- E. When the variable contains no outliers
Answer: A
Explanation:
The mean value of a variable is the average of all the values in a data set, calculated by dividing the sum of the values by the number of values. The median value of a variable is the middle value of the ordered data set, or the average of the middle two values if the data set has an even number of values. The mean value is sensitive to outliers, which are values that are very different from the rest of the data. Outliers can skew the mean value and make it less representative of the central tendency of the data. The median value is more robust to outliers, as it only depends on the middle values of the data. Therefore, when the variable contains a lot of extreme outliers, the mean value and the median value will be meaningfully different, as the mean value will be pulled towards the outliers, while the median value will remain close to the majority of the data1. Reference: Difference Between Mean and Median in Statistics (With Example) - BYJU'S
NEW QUESTION # 24
A data engineer is working with a nested array column products in table transactions. They want to expand the table so each unique item in products for each row has its own row where the transaction_id column is duplicated as necessary.
They are using the following incomplete command:
Which of the following lines of code can they use to fill in the blank in the above code block so that it successfully completes the task?
- A. array distinct(produces)
- B. reduce(produces)
- C. array(produces)
- D. explode(produces)
- E. flatten(produces)
Answer: D
Explanation:
The explode function is used to transform a DataFrame column of arrays or maps into multiple rows, duplicating the other column's values. In this context, it will be used to expand the nested array column products in the transactions table so that each unique item in products for each row has its own row and the transaction_id column is duplicated as necessary. Reference: Databricks Documentation I also noticed that you sent me an image along with your message. The image shows a snippet of SQL code that is incomplete. It begins with "SELECT" indicating a query to retrieve data. "transaction_id," suggests that transaction_id is one of the columns being selected. There are blanks indicated by underscores where certain parts of the SQL command should be, including what appears to be an alias for a column and part of the FROM clause. The query ends with "FROM transactions;" indicating data is being selected from a 'transactions' table.

NEW QUESTION # 26
A data analyst has created a Query in Databricks SQL, and now they want to create two data visualizations from that Query and add both of those data visualizations to the same Databricks SQL Dashboard.
Which of the following steps will they need to take when creating and adding both data visualizations to the Databricks SQL Dashboard?
- A. They will need to create two separate dashboards.
- B. They will need to alter the Query to return two separate sets of results.
- C. They will need to copy the Query and create one data visualization per query.
- D. They will need to add two separate visualizations to the dashboard based on the same Query.
- E. They will need to decide on a single data visualization to add to the dashboard.
Answer: D
Explanation:
A data analyst can create multiple visualizations from the same query in Databricks SQL by clicking the + button next to the Results tab and selecting Visualization. Each visualization can have a different type, name, and configuration. To add a visualization to a dashboard, the data analyst can click the vertical ellipsis button beneath the visualization, select + Add to Dashboard, and choose an existing or new dashboard. The data analyst can repeat this process for each visualization they want to add to the same dashboard.

NEW QUESTION # 27
Which of the following approaches can be used to ingest data directly from cloud-based object storage?
- A. Create an external table while specifying the object storage path to FROM
- B. It is not possible to directly ingest data from cloud-based object storage
- C. Create an external table while specifying the DBFS storage path to FROM
- D. Create an external table while specifying the object storage path to LOCATION
- E. Create an external table while specifying the DBFS storage path to PATH
Answer: D
Explanation:
External tables are tables that are defined in the Databricks metastore using the information stored in a cloud object storage location. External tables do not manage the data, but provide a schema and a table name to query the data. To create an external table, you can use the CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE statement and specify the object storage path to the LOCATION clause. For example, to create an external table named ext_table on a Parquet file stored in S3, you can use the following statement:
SQL
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ext_table (
col1 INT,
col2 STRING
)
STORED AS PARQUET
LOCATION 's3://bucket/path/file.parquet'

NEW QUESTION # 28
A data analyst has recently joined a new team that uses Databricks SQL, but the analyst has never used Databricks before. The analyst wants to know where in Databricks SQL they can write and execute SQL queries.
On which of the following pages can the analyst write and execute SQL queries?
- A. SQL Editor page
- B. Alerts page
- C. Data page
- D. Dashboards page
- E. Queries page
Answer: A
Explanation:
The SQL Editor page is where the analyst can write and execute SQL queries in Databricks SQL. The SQL Editor page has a query pane where the analyst can type or paste SQL statements, and a results pane where the analyst can view the query results in a table or a chart. The analyst can also browse data objects, edit multiple queries, execute a single query or multiple queries, terminate a query, save a query, download a query result, and more from the SQL Editor page. Reference: Create a query in SQL editor
NEW QUESTION # 29
A data analyst has created a user-defined function using the following line of code:
CREATE FUNCTION price(spend DOUBLE, units DOUBLE)
RETURNS DOUBLE
RETURN spend / units;
Which of the following code blocks can be used to apply this function to the customer_spend and customer_units columns of the table customer_summary to create column customer_price?
- A. SELECT function(price(customer_spend, customer_units)) AS customer_price FROM customer_summary
- B. SELECT price(customer_spend, customer_units) AS customer_price FROM customer_summary
- C. SELECT price FROM customer_summary
- D. SELECT double(price(customer_spend, customer_units)) AS customer_price FROM customer_summary
- E. SELECT PRICE customer_spend, customer_units AS customer_price FROM customer_summary
Answer: B
Explanation:
A user-defined function (UDF) is a function defined by a user, allowing custom logic to be reused in the user environment1. To apply a UDF to a table, the syntax is SELECT udf_name(column_name) AS alias FROM table_name2. Therefore, option E is the correct way to use the UDF price to create a new column customer_price based on the existing columns customer_spend and customer_units from the table customer_summary.

NEW QUESTION # 30
Which of the following statements describes descriptive statistics?
- A. A branch of statistics that uses quantitative variables that must take on a finite or countably infinite set of values.
- B. A branch of statistics that uses quantitative variables that must take on an uncountable set of values.
- C. A branch of statistics that uses summary statistics to categorically describe and summarize data.
- D. A branch of statistics that uses summary statistics to quantitatively describe and summarize data.
- E. A branch of statistics that uses a variety of data analysis techniques to infer properties of an underlying distribution of probability.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Descriptive statistics is a branch of statistics that uses summary statistics, such as mean, median, mode, standard deviation, range, frequency, or correlation, to quantitatively describe and summarize data. Descriptive statistics can help data analysts understand the main features of a data set, such as its central tendency, variability, or distribution. Descriptive statistics can also help data analysts visualize data using charts, graphs, or tables. Descriptive statistics do not make any inferences or predictions about the data, unlike inferential statistics, which use data analysis techniques to infer properties of an underlying population or probability distribution from a sample of data. Reference: Databricks - Descriptive Statistics, Databricks - Data Analysis with Databricks SQL
NEW QUESTION # 31
Which of the following is an advantage of using a Delta Lake-based data lakehouse over common data lake solutions?
- A. Scalable storage
- B. ACID transactions
- C. Open-source formats
- D. Flexible schemas
- E. Data deletion
Answer: B
Explanation:
A Delta Lake-based data lakehouse is a data platform architecture that combines the scalability and flexibility of a data lake with the reliability and performance of a data warehouse. One of the key advantages of using a Delta Lake-based data lakehouse over common data lake solutions is that it supports ACID transactions, which ensure data integrity and consistency. ACID transactions enable concurrent reads and writes, schema enforcement and evolution, data versioning and rollback, and data quality checks. These features are not available in traditional data lakes, which rely on file-based storage systems that do not support transactions. Reference:

NEW QUESTION # 32
A data analyst is working with gold-layer tables to complete an ad-hoc project. A stakeholder has provided the analyst with an additional dataset that can be used to augment the gold-layer tables already in use.
Which of the following terms is used to describe this data augmentation?
- A. Data enhancement
- B. Last-mile ETL
- C. Data testing
- D. Last-mile
- E. Ad-hoc improvements
Answer: A
Explanation:
Data enhancement is the process of adding or enriching data with additional information to improve its quality, accuracy, and usefulness. Data enhancement can be used to augment existing data sources with new data sources, such as external datasets, synthetic data, or machine learning models. Data enhancement can help data analysts to gain deeper insights, discover new patterns, and solve complex problems. Data enhancement is one of the applications of generative AI, which can leverage machine learning to generate synthetic data for better models or safer data sharing1.
In the context of the question, the data analyst is working with gold-layer tables, which are curated business-level tables that are typically organized in consumption-ready project-specific databases234. The gold-layer tables are the final layer of data transformations and data quality rules in the medallion lakehouse architecture, which is a data design pattern used to logically organize data in a lakehouse2. The stakeholder has provided the analyst with an additional dataset that can be used to augment the gold-layer tables already in use. This means that the analyst can use the additional dataset to enhance the existing gold-layer tables with more information, such as new features, attributes, or metrics. This data augmentation can help the analyst to complete the ad-hoc project more effectively and efficiently.

NEW QUESTION # 33
A data analyst creates a Databricks SQL Query where the result set has the following schema:
region STRING
number_of_customer INT
When the analyst clicks on the "Add visualization" button on the SQL Editor page, which of the following types of visualizations will be selected by default?
- A. Histogram
- B. Violin Chart
- C. Line Chart
- D. There is no default. The user must choose a visualization type.
- E. IBar Chart
Answer: E
Explanation:
According to the Databricks SQL documentation, when a data analyst clicks on the "Add visualization" button on the SQL Editor page, the default visualization type is Bar Chart. This is because the result set has two columns: one of type STRING and one of type INT. The Bar Chart visualization automatically assigns the STRING column to the X-axis and the INT column to the Y-axis. The Bar Chart visualization is suitable for showing the distribution of a numeric variable across different categories. Reference: Visualization in Databricks SQL, Visualization types
NEW QUESTION # 34
A data analyst is attempting to drop a table my_table. The analyst wants to delete all table metadata and data.
They run the following command:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS my_table;
While the object no longer appears when they run SHOW TABLES, the data files still exist.
Which of the following describes why the data files still exist and the metadata files were deleted?
- A. The table did not have a location
- B. The table's data was smaller than 10 GB
- C. The table was managed
- D. The table was external
- E. The table's data was larger than 10 GB
Answer: D
Explanation:
An external table is a table that is defined in the metastore, but its data is stored outside of the Databricks environment, such as in S3, ADLS, or GCS. When an external table is dropped, only the metadata is deleted from the metastore, but the data files are not affected. This is different from a managed table, which is a table whose data is stored in the Databricks environment, and whose data files are deleted when the table is dropped. To delete the data files of an external table, the analyst needs to specify the PURGE option in the DROP TABLE command, or manually delete the files from the storage system.
