Azure Databricks Phiton

[Nidhi1]

Does the photon engine work against Azure SQL? Is there any documentation for this?​

[AmanSehgal · Accepted solution]

Photon is a type of engine available within databricks workspace..

In data engineering, you can opt to have photon enabled on your cluster, whereas in Databricks SQL, photon is enabled by default.

Hi @Nidhi Sharma​, Azure Databricks and Azure SQL database can be used amazingly well together. This repo will help you to use the latest connector to load data into Azure SQL as fast as possible, using table partitions and column-store and all the known best practices.
