In production-grade Medallion Architectures (Bronze → Silver → Gold), it’s critical to track how and when each Delta table changes. To make this easier, I built a simple Databricks Python audit script that lists all tables in a schema and extracts their latest version, timestamp, and operation type (INSERT, UPDATE, MERGE, DELETE). Code snippet: for t in tables: full_table = f"{schema}.{t}" history_df = spark.sql(f"DESCRIBE HISTORY {full_table} LIMIT 1") latest = history _ df. select ("version", "timestamp", "operation").collect()[0] version_info.append((full_table, latest["version"], latest["timestamp"], latest["operation"])) Why use this: 1.Quickly identify which (Bronze,Silver,Gold) tables were updated during the latest batch. 2.Detect version mismatches between upstream and downstream layers 3.Gain visibility into operation types (useful for debugging incremental loads) 4.Maintain auditability and data lineage across the ETL pipeline This lightweight approach is a practical way to keep your Delta tables transparent, synchronized, and production-ready — no extra cost, just smart use of DESCRIBE HISTORY. ...
