I need to redeploy my workspace into a new VPC, so I am not expecting any collisions of the warehouses. Is it as simple as adding it to the hive metastore? Do I have to manually specify the schema or can it interpret it if I just add the table? </P> <P></P> Mon, 19 Jul 2021 12:51:35 GMT DanSiegel 2021-07-19T12:51:35Z https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/access-an-external-table-from-another-workspace/m-p/17585#M11572 <P></P> <P>What's the best way to add an external table so another cluster/workspace can access an existing external table on S3?
