Which of the following describes when to use the CREATE STREAMING LIVE TABLE (formerly CREATE INCREMENTAL LIVE TABLE) syntax over the CREATE LIVE TABLE syntax when creating Delta Live Tables (DLT) tables using SQL?
A.
CREATE STREAMING LIVE TABLE should be used when the subsequent step in the DLT pipeline is static.
B.
CREATE STREAMING LIVE TABLE should be used when data needs to be processed incrementally.
C.
CREATE STREAMING LIVE TABLE is redundant for DLT and it does not need to be used.
D.
CREATE STREAMING LIVE TABLE should be used when data needs to be processed through complicated aggregations.
E.
CREATE STREAMING LIVE TABLE should be used when the previous step in the DLT pipeline is static.
B. CREATE STREAMING LIVE TABLE should be used when data needs to be processed incrementally. The CREATE STREAMING LIVE TABLE syntax is used to create tables that read data incrementally, while the CREATE LIVE TABLE syntax is used to create tables that read data in batch mode. Delta Live Tables support both streaming and batch modes of processing data. When the data is streamed and needs to be processed incrementally, CREATE STREAMING LIVE TABLE should be used.
B. CREATE STREAMING LIVE TABLE should be used when data needs to be processed incrementally.
This syntax is used to define a Delta Live Table that processes data incrementally as new data arrives, which is essential for handling streaming data or large datasets that need to be processed in chunks rather than all at once.
B. CREATE STREAMING LIVE TABLE should be used when data needs to be processed incrementally.
The CREATE STREAMING LIVE TABLE syntax is used when you want to create Delta Live Tables (DLT) tables that are designed for processing data incrementally. This is typically used when your data pipeline involves streaming or incremental data updates, and you want the table to stay up to date as new data arrives. It allows you to define tables that can handle data changes incrementally without the need for full table refreshes.
So, option B correctly describes when to use CREATE STREAMING LIVE TABLE over CREATE LIVE TABLE in the context of Delta Live Tables.
This is old version question, currently, Databricks only have Streaming Table (Create Live Table). The previous Streaming live table and Live table already combined.
