Not able to get the location of the table in Databricks Free edition

[Sanjeeb2024]

Hi Team,

I am exploring the delta table properties and wants to see the internal folder structure of the delta table. I created a delta table using Databricks Free edition and when I executed the describe extended command, the location field is coming as blank. Is it a restriction from Databricks side. Ideally user should do all kind of experiments on this. Please advise. 

Please see the screenshot for the same.

Hi @Sanjeeb2024 ,

Probably in the Free Edition they hide/limit visibility into internal paths. Maybe due to some security concerns?
I ran the same command on environment I own and it works just fine (even for managed tables);

I guess the free/community edition does not use cloud storage. Most likely, it's a Databricks-managed storage.

Then how can we see the versions of our delta file then ?

Why do you need to see? Query the table or time travel?
