SQL Stored Procedure in Databricks

[elgeo]

Hello. Is there an equivalent of SQL stored procedure in Databricks? Please note that I need a procedure that allows DML statements and not only Select statement as a function provides.

Thank you in advance

Hello @Kaniz Fatma​. Thank you for your prompt reply. I have already read these articles. However my question is if there is a way to create an SP in Databricks and not call one through a jdbc connection. Thanks again

Any updates on this? Are SPROC like features expected in the future? Or do stored SQL queries have all the same functionality? I know we can call those remotely. Thanks!

Is there a way to query Databricks using Power BI, via a stored procedure or similar? In my use case the query will have multiple parameters, that the user will provide values for at runtime. I don't think notebooks can be consumed directly from Power BI, but I could be wrong.

Thanks for any help on this.

Looks like Stored procedures are in Public preview now. But when I am trying to create a procedure as per Databricks documentaion, it still doesn't seem to work.

@Andolina1 - As others mentioned, only available in DBR 17.0 which is currently in Beta in Azure.  I received the same error as you during testing and changing the cluster runtime will address it.  Probably a little early to start using at scale until 17.0 moves out of Beta.

Hi @Andolina1 this is supported in DBR 17.0 and above.

I am able to create one with the 17.0 beta DBR version. Please refer to this: https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/release-notes/runtime/17.0#sql-procedure-support
