Hello,I'm encountering an issue while installing UCX Assessment via an automation script in Databricks. When running the script, I get the following error:13:38:06 WARNING [databricks.labs.ucx.hive_metastore.tables] {listing_tables_0} failed-table-c...
The error occurs because the automation script explicitly sets WORKSPACE_GROUPS="<ALL>" and DATABASES="<ALL>", which the UCX installer interprets literally as a schema called "ALL"—instead of using the special meaning that the manual prompt does when...

I can find documentation to enable automatic liquid clustering with SQL code: CLUSTER BY AUTO. But how do I do this with Pyspark? I know I can do it with spark.sql("ALTER TABLE CLUSTER BY AUTO") but ideally I want to pass it as an .option().Thanks in...
This is supported now for DBR 16.4+ for both DataframeWriterV1 and DataframeWriterV2 APIs, and also for DLT, and DataStreaming APIs. More details are here: https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/delta/clustering . Basically using the option, `.option("cl...
I only see dashboard under the header SQL on the left menu, but I expected a header data. Got the feeling that under SQL, the dashboard lacks functionality.Best regards,Stefaan

When you create notebooks or jobs in Databricks, how does Databricks keep track of different versions or changes? And what should beginners do to manage versions safely and effectively?
Hi @Suheb,That’s a great question, version control is one of the most important things to get right early on.As a best practice, you should never run notebooks directly in production. Instead, notebooks should be treated as development assets, once v...
Databricks SQL Connector is fundamentally synchronous - it doesn't have native
async/await support. This creates an inherent mismatch when you want to use it in an
async Python application.
