DBFS option

I can't find dbfs option in my free data bricks community edition when I tried to see location of the table.

@Machireddy Nikithaโ€‹ :

you can use the DESCRIBE command in SQL to see the table location. Here is an example:

DESCRIBE EXTENDED my_database.my_table;

This command will display the metadata of the table, including its location on the local file system of the Databricks runtime. Note that the location might change every time you restart your Databricks cluster.

This is a limitation from community edition. You can use the existing table, but when the resources get shutdown, it will flush all the saved data.
