You can use jdbc/odbc drivers https://docs.databricks.com/integrations/bi/jdbc-odbc-bi.html disadvantage is that in normal version general computing cluster have run.

In public preview there is serverless SQL endpoint - you need to ask databricks for enabling it.

Also when you store your table on storage mounts (Azure blob, s3, ADLS) from many tools (PowerBI, Sata Factory) you can load it as a dataset.

@Hubert Dudek​  the serveless SQL endpoint it seems to me a good choice

using odbc as Hubert mentioned is the easiest way.

Besides Databricks and Databricks SQL, there are also other options like Azure Synapse Serverless, Presto etc.

They all serve data as tables.

Python also has a parquet reader using pyarrow f.e.
