Building Bronze Layer Hands On

Learning Objectives

Understand the differences between INSERT INTO, INSERT OVERWRITE, and COPY INTO commands to load the data

Overview

The challenge is to load source data into the Bronze layer by choosing the right method—INSERT INTO, INSERT OVERWRITE, or COPY INTO. This hands-on Databricks exercise helps data engineers understand the best use of each command, whether for appending data, replacing existing data, or incremental loading with schema management.

Prerequisites

Basic understanding SQL commands like insert into & insert overwrite
Familiarity with Delta Lake and how tables are structured in Databricks.
