Dear Databricks,

I had enrolled earlier for 14-day trial but didn't use it due to different commitments and trial expired. I have enrolled for certification and want to use it now. Is it possible to enable 14-day trial again. Thanks.

Would the Community Edition meet your use case? Or do you need features not included in the CE?

Hi @Landan George

Thanks for your response.

I am preparing for databricks certified associate developer apache spark 3.0 certification which includes

Spark SQL functions and

Dataframe methods and

spark architecture concepts, architecture API, dataframe API,clusters etc.

I am not sure if CE has SQL features as I didn't use it before.

Based on certification mentioned above, would you enable required features to practice please?

Thanks again

Regards,

Smitha

Hey @Smitha Nelapati ,

The CE doesn't have the SQL persona, but you should be able to use the Spark SQL functions, the DataFrame methods, and general spark configuration.

The CE is free to use forever so I'd try signing up and see if it works. Unfortunately I'm not able to do anything about the 14-day trial

Dear @Landan George

Thanks for your reply.

PFA screenshot, workspace is disabled. Am in the right page?

If I add billing info, I might get charged. Please advise.

Regards

Smitha.

@Smitha Nelapati Correct. If you enter your billing info you'll start to get billed for usage. If you want to use the CE go to https://www.databricks.com/try-databricks --> Get Started --> Get Started With Community Edition (at bottom)

Hi @Landan George

I cannot see the option Get Started --> Get Started With Community Edition (at bottom) mentioned by you. PFA screenshot. Do I have to register in AWS to work on CE? Please advise. Thanks for your reply.

Hi @Landan George I appreciate your response.

PFA screenshot, I had already registered in the past and 14 day trial expired and cant create workspace after I login unless billing info is provided. Hence I created ticket as msg was contact sales team.
