Hello,

Same question here, and I couldn't find much content about how to handle schema changes deployment.

I'm relatively new to databricks so there may be some obvious functionalities that I'm missing but let's say I need to deploy some schema changes like adding columns to a table. I can add the code in dev but this will only need to run once for schema changes and not everytime the job needs to run, and I don't want to handle that by either running the command manually in prod or managing errors or if statements in the job. 

What are the best practices for that ? Having a specific, or a specific job in a repo that is not scheduled but runs once ? 

Thanks !
