Databricks ro Salesforce | Unity Catalog Query

[ManojkMohan]

Ask

Can we get a UC catalog (like prod or genie) in free edition of data bricks ?

Problem i am solving:

Structuring Data in Databricks before sending customer, account data to salesforce

issue:

cannot see workspace-local tables (workspace.default.structured_pdf_table) 

Root Cause:

need to enable Databricks Delta Sharing (Beta) connector or ask admin for a UC catalog (like prod or genie)

able to see samples via connector , but unable to see workspace.default.structured_pdf_table

[RogerThatttt · Accepted solution]

root cause of not seeing your workspace-local tables (workspace.default.structured_pdf_table) is the unavailability of a Unity Catalog or Delta Sharing connector configuration in your Free Edition workspace. To resolve this, you typically need admin access to set up Unity Catalog or Delta Sharing for your environment, which is not part of Free Edition capabilities.

In summary, a full UC catalog experience (like prod or genie) is not available in Databricks Free Edition, so workspace-local tables visibility and advanced sharing via Delta Sharing require a paid plan with Unity Catalog enabled

If higher integration flexibility or governance is needed, upgrading to a paid Databricks plan with Unity Catalog and Delta Sharing enabled is recommended.

Others any thoughts?
