Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer Associate DP-700 Practice Question
While working in a Microsoft Fabric lakehouse you have a PySpark DataFrame named df that contains new and changed customer rows. You must upsert the data into the existing Delta table customers so that matching rows are updated and non-matching rows are inserted atomically. Which PySpark statement should you use?
spark.sql("INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE customers SELECT * FROM df")
Delta Lake provides the merge() operation for atomic upserts. Calling DeltaTable.forName returns a DeltaTable object that can perform transactional operations against an existing Delta table. The merge statement compares keys between the target and source DataFrames. The whenMatchedUpdateAll() clause updates existing rows, and whenNotMatchedInsertAll() inserts new rows in one ACID transaction. Overwrite or append writes cannot simultaneously update and insert, and INSERT OVERWRITE replaces the whole table, so those statements do not meet the requirement.
