Question 1

Delta Sharing is an open protocol for sharing data. Which of the following best describes what a 'recipient' is in Delta Sharing?

Accepted Answer

An entity (person or organization) authorized to access shared data

Answer

In Delta Sharing, a recipient is an authenticated entity — which can be inside or outside Databricks — that has been granted access to one or more shares.

Question 2

Which Unity Catalog privilege must be granted on a schema before a user can create new tables inside it?

Accepted Answer

CREATE TABLE

Answer

The CREATE TABLE privilege on a schema allows a user to create new tables within that schema; USE SCHEMA is also required but alone is not sufficient for table creation.

Question 3

An audit log in Databricks records which of the following types of events?

Accepted Answer

Data access, permission changes, and workspace administration actions

Answer

Databricks audit logs capture a broad range of events including data reads/writes, permission grants/revocations, login events, and admin actions for compliance purposes.

Question 4

What is the purpose of the INFORMATION_SCHEMA in Unity Catalog?

Accepted Answer

To provide a queryable view of metadata such as tables, columns, and privileges

Answer

INFORMATION_SCHEMA is a system schema within each catalog that exposes metadata about tables, columns, grants, and other objects as queryable views.

Question 5

When using Unity Catalog, what happens if a user runs SELECT * on a table where a column mask is applied and they do not meet the mask's condition?

Accepted Answer

The masked column returns NULL or a transformed value instead of the real data

Answer

Column masks transform (e.g., nullify or hash) the column value for users who don't meet the policy condition, rather than blocking the query entirely.
