Tables disappear when I re-start a new cluster on Community Edition

What would be the best plan for independent course creator?

Hi folks! I want to use databrick community edition as the platform to teach online courses. As you may know, for community edition, you need to create a new cluster when the old one terminates. I found out however tables created from the old cluster would disappear as well, so I have to re-create tables every time I start the cluster.

I wonder if anyone knows how to fix this problem. I have a couple tables with static data with 100+ questions. It will be too much repetitive work if students need to upload the data and re-create the steps every time they re-start a new cluster.

Looking forward to your advice!

Hi, It will be helpful if you provide the screenshots before and after the incident.

Hi @Lizhi Dong​,

This might be a limitation from Community Edition. When your cluster gets terminated all your tables will be removed.
