Cache Select on Temp Table?

How might I cache a temp table?

The documentation suggests it is possible: https://docs.databricks.com/spark/latest/spark-sql/language-manual/delta-cache.html

Consider the following on DBR 10.5 and Spark 3.2.1:

```

%python

df.createOrReplaceTempView("changeset");

```

```

CACHE SELECT * from changeset

```

`CACHE supports only SELECT queries with optional WHERE clause, e.g. CACHE SELECT <columns> FROM <table> [ WHERE <predicate> ]`
