Advocate IIDelta lake tables
Hi, I'm new here and I'm currently studying for the Microsoft Fabric exam. I'm trying to get hands on experience through the labs.
So I wanted to ask or get a clarification, this module I'm working on is about delta tables, and I created one based on the instructions using notebooks. However I remember in lake house you can also use "load to tables" after uploading your file and that is also a delta table. I wanted to know if there was a difference or the module "work with lake tables in ms fabric" is just exploring different options to get delta tables
Thank you.

Fabric provides many options to move and store data into delta tables. "Load to tables" is a GUI feature, which is available in the Lakehouse Explorer. Lakehouse Load to Delta Lake tables - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
Notebooks provide more flexible approaches with spark. You can also experience Dataflow Gen2 and Data pipelines to ingest data into delta tables. Fabric supports various data sources. Options to get data into the Lakehouse - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

Both options create a delta table. It's the same outcome.
