How to Change Created By Field in SQL Warehouses Without Recreating Them?

KingAJ — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 08:30:59 GMT

I’m trying to update the "Created by" field on an existing SQL warehouse without having to recreate the entire warehouse. I attempted to use the Databricks Python SDK to run an update command, but unfortunately, it didn’t change the field.

Has anyone successfully changed this property on an existing warehouse? Is there a recommended approach or workaround for this?

Hi @KingAJ ,

Maybe you can try to use following REST API endpoint? There's a creator_name attribute that you can use.

Update a warehouse | SQL Warehouses API | REST API reference | Databricks on AWS

Hi @szymon_dybczak , Thanks for the reply..!

Tried using REST API endpoint directly, but I still ended up with the same creator_name. It seems like the SDKs are also relying on the REST API behind the scenes.
