Also, the DEEP clone is faster than the read-write approach. </P> Fri, 25 Jun 2021 21:29:24 GMT brickster_2018 2021-06-25T21:29:24Z Why would I make a deep clone of a Delta table vs reading the table and writing a copy to a new location? https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/why-would-i-make-a-deep-clone-of-a-delta-table-vs-reading-the/m-p/19584#M13141 <P>It seems like with both techniques I would end up with a copy of my table. Trying to understand when I should be using a deep clone.</P> Fri, 25 Jun 2021 16:11:58 GMT https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/why-would-i-make-a-deep-clone-of-a-delta-table-vs-reading-the/m-p/19584#M13141 User16826992666 2021-06-25T16:11:58Z Re: Why would I make a deep clone of a Delta table vs reading the table and writing a copy to a new location? https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/why-would-i-make-a-deep-clone-of-a-delta-table-vs-reading-the/m-p/19585#M13142 <P>A deep clone is recommended way as it holds the history of the table.
