Can you restrict the type of clusters users are allowed to create?

I would like to make it so users can only create job clusters and not interactive clusters. Is it possible to do this in a workspace?

This can be accomplished with cluster policies. You can use a policy similar to this example to restrict certain users or groups to only have permission to create job clusters.

Mode "append" atomically adds new data to an existing Delta table and "overwrite" atomically replaces all of the data in a table.

The table name, path, database info are stored in Hive metastore, the actual schema is stored in the "_delta_log" directory that should be in the root path location where you Delta table is stored.
