The gold layer of the medallion architecture contains data that is highly refined and aggregated, and
powers analytics, machine learning, and production applications. Data analysts typically use the gold
layer to access data that has been transformed into knowledge, rather than just information. The gold
layer represents the final stage of data quality and optimization in the lakehouse. Reference: What is

Question 2
A data analyst has recently joined a new team that uses Databricks SQL, but the analyst has never
used Databricks before. The analyst wants to know where in Databricks SQL they can write and
execute SQL queries.
On which of the following pages can the analyst write and execute SQL queries?
Correct Answer: E

Question 3
Which of the following describes how Databricks SQL should be used in relation to other business
intelligence (BI) tools like Tableau, Power BI, and looker?
Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
Databricks SQL is not meant to replace or substitute other BI tools, but rather to complement them
by providing a fast and easy way to query, explore, and visualize data on the lakehouse using the
built-in SQL editor, visualizations, and dashboards. Databricks SQL also integrates seamlessly with
popular BI tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Looker, allowing analysts to use their preferred tools to
access data through Databricks clusters and SQL warehouses. Databricks SQL offers low-code and no
code experiences, as well as optimized connectors and serverless compute, to enhance the
productivity and performance of BI workloads on the lakehouse. Reference: Databricks

Question 4
Which of the following approaches can be used to connect Databricks to Fivetran for data ingestion?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Partner Connect is a feature that allows you to easily connect your Databricks workspace to Fivetran
and other ingestion partners using an automated workflow. You can select a SQL warehouse or a cluster as the destination for your data replication, and the connection details are sent to Fivetran.
You can then choose from over 200 data sources that Fivetran supports and start ingesting data into
Delta Lake. Reference: Connect to Fivetran using Partner Connect, Use Databricks with Fivetran
Question 5
Data professionals with varying titles use the Databricks SQL service as the primary touchpoint with
the Databricks Lakehouse Platform. However, some users will use other services like Databricks
Machine Learning or Databricks Data Science and Engineering. Which of the following roles uses Databricks SQL as a secondary service while primarily using one of
the other services?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Data engineers are primarily responsible for building, managing, and optimizing data pipelines and
architectures. They use Databricks Data Science and Engineering service to perform tasks such as data
ingestion, transformation, quality, and governance. Data engineers may use Databricks SQL as a
secondary service to query, analyze, and visualize data from the lakehouse, but this is not their main
focus. Reference: Databricks SQL overview, Databricks Data Science and Engineering overview, Data
