What kind of table will the finance team member create when executing the SQL command to create tx_sales?

When the SQL command executes successfully to create the tx_sales table, a managed table is created in the storage container, specifically mounted to the path /mnt/finance_eda_bucket.

A managed table in Databricks is a table where Databricks takes care of both the metadata and the underlying data. This means that when the table is dropped, both the metadata and the data will be deleted. In this scenario, the location of the managed table is specified, indicating that the data is stored in a specified storage container that is mounted, making it easily accessible for the finance team.

Selecting the correct type of table is important, as it determines how the data is managed and accessed. The choice of a managed table typically allows for better integration and optimization in Databricks, particularly when it comes to data governance and security, as the platform manages the storage and lifecycle of the data involved.
