Databricks database

[greengil]

In Oracle, I create schemas and tables and link tables together via the primary/foreign key to do SQL queries.

In Databricks, I notice that I can create tables, but how do I link tables together for querying?  Does Databricks queries need the key in the table columns just like Oracle to query for data?

Databricks supports primary and foreign key constraints on Unity Catalog Delta tables, but these are informational and not enforced; queries do not depend on them to be able to join tables .
To query all related data from multiple tables you will need to use join between all the related tables with right join condition .

Hi @dbxdev - Thank you for your reply.  So to join the 2 tables, similar to the relational database SQLs, I will still need to specify the unique keys in each table and join the tables accordingly?  Thanks!

@greengil you treat your joins in Databricks the same way you would in any other relational database.  Join 2+ tables together using the primary/foreign keys from each of those tables.

thank you for the info!
