We can use Apis and pyodbc to achieve this. Once go through the official documentation of databricks that might be helpful to access outside of the databricks environment.
To create external tables we need to use the location keyword and use the link for the storage location, in reference to that does the user need to have permission for the storage location if not then will we use storage credentials to provide the ac...
Hi Nimai, That's partially right. You can grant permissions directly on the storage credential, but Databricks recommends that you reference it in an external location and grant permissions to that instead. An external location combines a storage cre...

We moved in Databricks since few months from now, and before that we were in SQL Server.So, all our tables and databases follow the "camel case" rule.Apparently, in Databricks the rule is "lower case with underscore".Where can we find an official doc...
Hi @Salah KHALFALLAH , looking at the documentation it appears that Databricks' preferred naming convention is lowercase and underscores as you mentioned.The reason for this is most likely because Databricks uses Hive Metastore, which is case insens...
Hello Experts,Is there any API in databricks that allows to write the data in the Databricks tables. I would like to send small size Logs information to Databricks tables from other service. What are my options?Thank you very much.
Data Engineering - CTAS - External TablesCan someone help me understand why In chapter 3.3, we cannot not directly use CTAS with OPTIONS and LOCATION to specify delimiter and location of CSV?Or I misunderstood?Details:In Data Engineering with Databri...
The 2nd statement CTAS will not be able to parse the csv in any manner because it's just the from statement that points to a file. It's more of a traditional SQL statement with select and from. It will create a Delta Table. This just happens to b...
@Hubert Dudek We currently have a process in place that reads in a SQLite file. We recently transitioned to using Databricks. We were hoping to be able to create a SQLite file so we didn't have to alter the current process we have in place.
Hello,I've read the posts:Jobs - Delta Live tables difference (databricks.com)andDifference between Delta Live Tables and Multitask Jobs (databricks.com)My understanding is that delta live tables are more like a DSL that simplfies the workflow defini...
@Landan George "Jobs won't be able to do what DLT does", I read some blogs, and watched some videos too, but I still cannot figure out the difference between jobs vs DLT. Does it mean without Databricks DLT, Databricks jobs cannot handle delta table...
