The view updates represents an incremental batch of all newly ingested data to be inserted or updated in the customers table.
The following logic is used to process these records.
MERGE INTO customers
USING (
SELECT updates.customer_id as merge_ey, updates .*
FROM updates
UNION ALL
SELECT NULL as merge_key, updates .*
FROM updates JOIN customers
ON updates.customer_id = customers.customer_id
WHERE customers.current = true AND updates.address <> customers.address ) staged_updates ON customers.customer_id = mergekey WHEN MATCHED AND customers. current = true AND customers.address <> staged_updates.
address THEN
UPDATE SET current = false, end_date = staged_updates.effective_date
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT (customer_id, address, current, effective_date, end_date)
VALUES (staged_updates.customer_id, staged_updates.address, true, staged_updates.effective_date, null) Which statement describes this implementation?
* The customers table is implemented as a Type 2 table; old values are overwritten and new customers are appended.
The data architect has mandated that all tables in the Lakehouse should be configured as external (also known as "unmanaged") Delta Lake tables.
Which approach will ensure that this requirement is met?
What is the main difference between the silver layer and the gold layer in medalion architecture?
You are currently working on storing data you received from different customer surveys, this data is highly unstructured and changes over time, why Lakehouse is a better choice compared to a Data warehouse?
A data engineer is building a Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines pipeline to process healthcare claims data. A metadata JSON file defines data quality rules for multiple tables, including:
{
"claims": [
{"name": "valid_patient_id", "constraint": "patient_id IS NOT NULL"},
{"name": "non_negative_amount", "constraint": "claim_amount >= 0"}
]
}
The pipeline must dynamically apply these rules to the claims table without hardcoding the rules.
How should the data engineer achieve this?
