The security team is exploring whether or not the Databricks secrets module can be leveraged for connecting to an external database.
After testing the code with all Python variables being defined with strings, they upload the password to the secrets module and configure the correct permissions for the currently active user. They then modify their code to the following (leaving all other variables unchanged).

Which statement describes what will happen when the above code is executed?

The data science team has created and logged a production model using MLflow. The following code correctly imports and applies the production model to output the predictions as a new DataFrame named preds with the schema "customer_id LONG, predictions DOUBLE, date DATE".

The data science team would like predictions saved to a Delta Lake table with the ability to compare all predictions across time. Churn predictions will be made at most once per day.
Which code block accomplishes this task while minimizing potential compute costs?

An upstream source writes Parquet data as hourly batches to directories named with the current date. A nightly batch job runs the following code to ingest all data from the previous day as indicated by the date variable:

Assume that the fields customer_id and order_id serve as a composite key to uniquely identify each order.
If the upstream system is known to occasionally produce duplicate entries for a single order hours apart, which statement is correct?

A junior member of the data engineering team is exploring the language interoperability of Databricks notebooks. The intended outcome of the below code is to register a view of all sales that occurred in countries on the continent of Africa that appear in the geo_lookup table.
Before executing the code, running SHOW TABLES on the current database indicates the database contains only two tables: geo_lookup and sales.

Which statement correctly describes the outcome of executing these command cells in order in an interactive notebook?

A Delta table of weather records is partitioned by date and has the below schema: date DATE, device_id INT, temp FLOAT, latitude FLOAT, longitude FLOAT
To find all the records from within the Arctic Circle, you execute a query with the below filter: latitude > 66.3
Which statement describes how the Delta engine identifies which files to load?
