Databricks Certified Data Analyst Associate — Question 8

Delta Lake stores table data as a series of data files, but it also stores a lot of other information.
Which of the following is stored alongside data files when using Delta Lake?

Answer options

• A. None of these
• B. Table metadata, data summary visualizations, and owner account information
• C. Table metadata
• D. Data summary visualizations
• E. Owner account information

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as Delta Lake specifically stores table metadata alongside data files to manage the structure and schema of the table. Options B, D, and E are incorrect because they include additional information that is not necessarily stored with the data files, making them less relevant to the specific question about what is stored alongside data files.
