Querying on a temp view

In this exercise, you'll practice registering a DataFrame as a temporary SQL view in PySpark. Temporary views are powerful tools that allow you to query data using SQL syntax, making complex data manipulations easier and more intuitive. Your goal is to create a view from a provided DataFrame and run SQL queries against it, a common task for ETL and ELT work.

You already have a SparkContext, spark, and a PySpark DataFrame, df, available in your workspace.
