Question 1
Question Type: MultipleChoice

A data engineering team has two tables. The first table march_transactions is a collection of all
retail transactions in the month of March. The second table april_transactions is a collection of all
retail transactions in the month of April. There are no duplicate records between the tables.

Which of the following commands should be run to create a new table all_transactions that
contains all records from march_transactions and april_transactions without duplicate records?

Options:
A) CREATE TABLE all_transactions AS
SELECT * FROM march_transactions
INNER JOIN SELECT * FROM april_transactions;
B) CREATE TABLE all_transactions AS
SELECT * FROM march_transactions
UNION SELECT * FROM april_transactions;
C) CREATE TABLE all_transactions AS
SELECT * FROM march_transactions
OUTER JOIN SELECT * FROM april_transactions;
D) CREATE TABLE all_transactions AS
SELECT * FROM march_transactions
INTERSECT SELECT * from april_transactions;
E) CREATE TABLE all_transactions AS
SELECT * FROM march_transactions
MERGE SELECT * FROM april_transactions;

Answer:
B

Explanation:
The correct command to create a new table that contains all records from two tables without
duplicate records is to use theUNIONoperator. The UNION operator combines the results of two
queries and removes any duplicate rows. The INNER JOIN, OUTER JOIN, and MERGE operators do
not remove duplicate rows, and the INTERSECT operator only returns the rows that are common
to both tables. Therefore, option B is the only correct answer.Reference:Databricks SQL

Question 2
Question Type: MultipleChoice

A data analyst has developed a query that runs against Delta table. They want help from the data
engineering team to implement a series of tests to ensure the data returned by the query is
clean. However, the data engineering team uses Python for its tests rather than SQL.

Which of the following operations could the data engineering team use to run the query and
operate with the results in PySpark?

Options:
A) SELECT * FROM sales
B) spark.delta.table
C) spark.sql
D) There is no way to share data between PySpark and SQL.
E) spark.table

Answer:
C

Explanation:
The spark.sql operation allows the data engineering team to run a SQL query and return the
result as a PySpark DataFrame. This way, the data engineering team can use the same query
that the data analyst has developed and operate with the results in PySpark. For example, the
data engineering team can use spark.sql(''SELECT * FROM sales'') to get a DataFrame of all the
records from the sales Delta table, and then apply various tests or transformations using PySpark
APIs. The other options are either not valid operations (A, D), not suitable for running a SQL query
(B, E), or not returning a DataFrame (A).Reference:Databricks Documentation - Run SQL
queries,Databricks Documentation - Spark SQL and DataFrames.
