 \nOptions:  \nE-The table was managed  \nA-The table's data was larger than 10 GB  \nB-The table's data was smaller than 10 GB  \nC-The table was external  \nD-The table did not have a location  \nAnswer:  \nC  \nExplanation:                             \nAn external table is a table that is defined in the metastore and points to an existing location inthe storage system.When you drop an external table,only the metadata is deleted from themetastore,but the data files are not deleted from the storage system.This is because externaltables are meant to be shared by multiple applications and users,and dropping them should notaffect the data availability.On the other hand,a managed table is a table that is defined in themetastore and also managed by the metastore.When you drop a managed table,both themetadata and the data files are deleted from the metastore and the storage system,  \nrespectively.This is because managed tables are meant to be exclusive to the application or userthat created them,and dropping them should free up the storage space.Therefore,the correctanswer is C,because the table was external and only the metadata was deleted when the tablewas dropped.Reference:Databricks Documentation -Managed and External Tables,DatabricksDocumentation -Drop Table  \nQuestion 2                     \nQuestion Type:MultipleChoice                           \nA new data engineering team team has been assigned to an ELT project.The new dataengineering team willneed full privileges on the table sales to fully manage the project.  \nWhich option best commands can be used to grant full permissions on the database to the newdata engineering team?  \nOptions:                               \nE-GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON TABLE team TO sales;  \nB-GRANT SELECT CREATE MODIFY ON TABLE sales TO team;  \nD-GRANT USAGE ON TABLE sales TO team;  \nA-GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON TABLE sales TO team;  \nC-GRANT SELECT ON TABLE sales TO team;  \n## Answer:\n\nA  \nExplanation:  \nTo grant full permissions on a table to a user or a group,you can use theGRANT ALL PRIVILEGESON TABLEstatement.This statement willgrant allthe possible privileges on the table,suchasSELECT,CREATE,MODIFY,DROP,ALTER,etc.Option A is the only code block that follows thissyntax correctly.Option B is incorrect,as it does not grant all the possible privileges on the table,but only a subset of them.Option C is incorrect,as it only grants theSELECTprivilege on the table,which is not enough to fully manage the project.Option D is incorrect,as it grants  \ntheUSAGEprivilege on the table,which is not a valid privilege for tables.Option E is incorrect,asit grants all the privileges on the tableteamto the user or groupsales,which is the opposite ofwhat the question asks.Reference:Grant privileges on a table using SQL |Databricks onAWS,Grant privileges on a table using SQL-Azure Databricks,SQL Privileges -Databricks  \nQuestion 3                       \nQuestion Type:MultipleChoice                               \nA data engineer needs to use a Delta table as part of a data pipeline,but they do not know if theyhave the appropriate permissions.  \n          Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate Exam Free Sample Questions BY Norris -Page 4  \nIn which location can the data enqineer review their permissions on the table?
