Hi, I am prepping for the Databricks DEA exam. I am seeing some conflicts with DLT/DP or declarative pipeline syntax. I am trying to see if the most up to date syntax is going to be on the exam as opposed to the legacy DLT. 

For example, current DP syntax encourages 

  • CREATE OR REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW for batch
  • CREATE OR REFRESH STREAMING TABLE for streaming

This is different than how it was in the past.
