When using Delta Live Tables, how do I set a table to be incremental vs complete using Python?

When using SQL, I can use the Create Live Table command and the Create Incremental Live Table command to set the run type I want the table to use. But I don't seem to have that same syntax for python. How can I set this table type while using Python?

After creating my Delta Live Table and running it once, I notice that the maintenance job that was created along with it continues to run at the scheduled time. I have not made any updated to the DLT, so the maintenance job theoretically shouldn't ha...

You could change the table properties of the associated tables to disable automatic scheduled optimizations. More details at https://docs.databricks.com/data-engineering/delta-live-tables/delta-live-tables-language-ref.html#table-properties

Would pyspark.sql.DataFrameWriter.csv work? You could specify the separator (sep) as tabdf.write.csv(os.path.join(tempfile.mkdtemp(), 'data'))

You cant save a dataframe without specifying a location. If you are using saveAsTable API then the table will be created in the hive warehouse location. The default location is user.hive.warehouse

Why would I make a deep clone of a Delta table vs reading the table and writing a copy to a new location?

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.

A deep clone is recommended way as it holds the history of the table. Also, the DEEP clone is faster than the read-write approach.

How can I run OPTIMIZE on a table if I am streaming to it 24/7?

I have a table that I need to be continuously streaming into. I know it's best practice to run Optimize on my tables periodically. But if I never stop writing to the table, how and when can I run OPTIMIZE against it?

If the streaming job is making bling appends to the delta table, then it's perfectly fine to run OPTIMIZE query in parallel.However, if the streaming job is performing MERGE or UPDATE then it can conflict with the OPTIMIZE operations. In such cases w...
