Can I change from default showing first 1,000 to return all records when query?

[Thanapat_S]

I have to query a data for showing in my dashboard.

But it truncated the results and showing only first 1,000 rows.

In the dashboard view, there is no option to re-execute with maximum result limits.

I don't want to switch back to standard view and click to re-execute everytime.

So, I would like to know if I can change default from showing only 1,000 records to return all records from query.

Hi @Thanapat Sontayasara​​, Limit 1000 is selected by default for all queries to ensure that the query returns at most 1000 rows. If you want to return all rows for this query, you can unselect LIMIT 1000 by clicking the Run (1000) drop-down. If you want to specify a different limit on the number of rows, you can add a LIMIT clause in your query with a value of your choice.

Hi! @Kaniz Fatma​ Sorry for late reply.

Thank you for your answer.

But the problem is that my query is running in Databricks Data Science & Engineering.

I understand that your reference is based on Databricks SQL workspace.

Hi @Thanapat Sontayasara​, Here is the thread similar to your problem with the best answer. Please LMK if that helps.

Hi! @Kaniz Fatma​.

Yes, definitely the same question as mine.

But, still, I don't find any guideline of how to change the default like mention in that thread.

Do you have any clue about "the changes need to occur at the shard level."?

I have no idea what is the shard level. Or you have any reference document for me to work on.

@Thanapat Sontayasara​ 10000 limit is available as an option in the notebook(which propagates to dashboard after its run in notebook) while 1000 rows still is the default. 10000 limit is experimental and it can be made as default depending on the number of use cases from customers which may take some time.

Hi! @Srihasa Reddy Akepati​ Sorry for late reply.

Interesting! Can you share with us about how to change or set the 10,000 as default when running command like display(df) and return 10,000.

With screenshot or document guideline shared would be really appreciated!

[Srihasa_Akepati]

@Thanapat Sontayasara​ Default is still 1000. Let me check internally if there is a way to change the default.

[Srihasa_Akepati · Accepted solution]

@Thanapat Sontayasara​ 1000 is still the default. Default of 10k rows will be made available by Jan.
