I want to avoid doing the compare in Databricks. So I am looking for a way to read the spark table via the Databricks api. Is this possible? How can I go on to read a table: DB.TableName?</P> Thu, 24 Jun 2021 15:30:45 GMT https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/how-to-read-a-databricks-table-via-databricks-api-in-python/m-p/20603#M13923 User16790091296 2021-06-24T15:30:45Z https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/how-to-read-a-databricks-table-via-databricks-api-in-python/m-p/20604#M13924 <P>What is the format of the table - if It is delta, you could use the <A href="https://delta-io.github.io/delta-rs/python/" alt="https://delta-io.github.io/delta-rs/python/" target="_blank">python bindings</A> for the native <A href="https://github.com/delta-io/delta-rs" alt="https://github.com/delta-io/delta-rs" target="_blank">Rust API </A>and read the table from your python code and compare bypassing the metastore. </P> Thu, 24 Jun 2021 20:17:33 GMT https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/how-to-read-a-databricks-table-via-databricks-api-in-python/m-p/20604#M13924 sajith_appukutt 2021-06-24T20:17:33Z
