Hi @Salah KHALFALLAH , looking at the documentation it appears that Databricks' preferred naming convention is lowercase and underscores as you mentioned.The reason for this is most likely because Databricks uses Hive Metastore, which is case insens...

The 2nd statement CTAS will not be able to parse the csv in any manner because it's just the from statement that points to a file. It's more of a traditional SQL statement with select and from. It will create a Delta Table. This just happens to b...
