Sure, background of my question is I have legacy software (Oracle Analytics Server and its Client Tools) that can only see hive_metastore and there's no way I know of to change the catalog. I'd like to create different catalogs in Databricks such as dwh_dev, dwh_stage and dwh_prod and reverse these models into the Oracle BI tool.

Hence my idea was to bypass this problem by creating views in any schema of the hive_metastore catalog which would then access the respective table at a different place.

I'm open to any better solution which perhaps fits the Databricks/Unity Catalog world more elegant 🙂
