Topic #: 3
[All Databricks-Certified-Data-Engineer-Associate Questions]

A data engineer has created a new database using the following command:

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS customer360;

In which of the following locations will the customer360 database be located?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

dbfs:/user/hive/warehouse Thereby showing 'dbfs:/user/hive/warehouse/customer360.db

The location of the customer360 database depends on the value of thespark.sql.warehouse.dirconfiguration property, which specifies the default location for managed databases and tables. If the property is not set, the default value isdbfs:/user/hive/warehouse. Therefore, the customer360 database will be located indbfs:/user/hive/warehouse/customer360.db. However, if the property is set to a different value, such asdbfs:/user/hive/database, then the customer360 database will be located indbfs:/user/hive/database/customer360.db. Thus, more information is needed to determine the correct response.

Option A is not correct, asdbfs:/user/hive/database/customer360is not the default location for managed databases and tables, unless thespark.sql.warehouse.dirproperty is explicitly set todbfs:/user/hive/database.

Option B is not correct, asdbfs:/user/hive/warehouseis the default location for the root directory of managed databases and tables, not for a specific database. The database name should be appended with.dbto the directory path, such asdbfs:/user/hive/warehouse/customer360.db.

Option C is not correct, asdbfs:/user/hive/customer360is not a valid location for a managed database, as it does not follow the directory structure specified by thespark.sql.warehouse.dirproperty.

A new database? That's great, but I hope they named it something more creative than 'customer360'. Sounds like a generic corporate project. Anyway, I'd say A is the right choice here.

Hmm, the question doesn't provide enough information about the Databricks environment. I'd need to know more about the setup to determine the correct location. I'll go with D.

I'm not sure about the specific location, but I know that Databricks uses a distributed file system, so the database will be stored in a distributed manner. I'd go with option A.

This question is a real brainteaser! I bet the person who wrote it is a certified data engineer themselves, probably sipping on a mug of coffee and chuckling at our confusion.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Maybe Option C is the right answer, since the database name is 'customer360'?

I'm not sure either, but Option C does seem like a logical choice given the database name.

Wait, is this a trick question? What if the database is actually located in the cloud, far away from any 'dbfs' location?
