Integrating Databricks Table with Web Page

[vbajaj1]

Hi Guys,

We need to integrate Databricks table with Web Page. Where I want to read Databricks table and show it in grid in WebPage and also want to give ability to update this table from web page. Databricks table is in Unity catalog. 

Have anyone tried it? 

KR,

VB

Thank you for your question! To integrate a Databricks table with a web page, you can follow these basic steps:

1. Read the Table: Use a Databricks SQL endpoint or JDBC/ODBC driver to query the table from your web application backend. For example, if your application uses Python, you can use libraries like pyodbc or sqlalchemy to fetch data.

2. Display Data: Send the queried data to the front end and render it in a grid or table format using web technologies like HTML and JavaScript. Frameworks like React or Angular can make this easier.

3. Enable Updates: To allow updates, capture user edits in the front end and send them to your backend via an API. From there, use SQL queries or Spark jobs to update the Unity Catalog table.

4. Security: Ensure proper authentication and access control for both reading and writing to the Databricks table to maintain data integrity.

This is a general outline—specifics will depend on your tech stack. Let me know if you'd like more details!
