First way of accomplishing tasks. What we're going to do is to take a file in our lakehouse and copy the data in that file to a table. Doing this will enable us to use the data to do all kinds of analysis. To do this, we have to create a notebook item first. Of course, for now we'll create a notebook from a workspace, and that means that the notebook needs to be connected to our lakehouse. I could also create a notebook from within the lakehouse, in which case the connection will be made automatically.
