Hello
Historically, we had a number of tables that have been extracted from source and loaded to databricks using 'select *'.
As a result some columns that have been loaded never get used.
I'd like to tidy this and remove redundant columns.
Is there a way I can script whether columns in a table are referenced (or preferably not) in any downstream databricks notebooks?
Thanks
