Hi everyone,I have been reviewing the documentation on integrating external Iceberg tables with Databricks. Currently, the only method I have found to read from an Iceberg REST catalog (specifically GCP BigLake in my case) is by explicitly passing th...

I know that context-based ingress control is currently a preview feature, but it is an extremely important one. It removes the need for workspace-level IP access lists, making it much easier to govern allowed IPs centrally and preventing workspace-le...

Hi everyone, I have a few questions regarding Terraform folder structure and state management for Databricks, and I'd love to get your opinions.For context, our Databricks environment is already deployed and Unity Catalog is configured. The Terraform...

Regarding the limitations of declarative pipelines—specifically the inability to use replaceWhere—I discovered through testing that materialized views actually support dynamic overwrites. This handles several scenarios where replaceWhere would typica...

I would like to know the best practice for collaborating on a Delta Live Tables pipeline. I was thinking that each developer should have their own DLT pipeline in the development workspace. Currently, each domain has its development catalog, like sal...

Thanks for your answer, Ashwin! This really clarifies how to better structure the workspace Terraform. I completely agree with your points, and your approach aligns perfectly with what I had in mind. I will split my main.tf into separate files based ...

I totally agree. It’s a mess that DLT can't handle self-referential constraints. I’ve had to create some ugly workaround functions to get past this—like a function that tries to read the referenced table and returns an empty string if it throws an er...

Thanks for answering! That was very clarifying. I've never used it that way before. At first glance, it seems a little strange, but as you said, what matters is QA/Production.

That's an elegant solution; I can understand it better now. I developed my version slightly differently: instead of then set the schema for my DLT pipeline. I used the configuration variable DLT_GOLD_SCHEMA for the target database, as shown below.tar...

That is a very clear explanation; I understand it well now. Bundles seem better for simplicity and a repo-oriented workflow, making it easy to manage multiple repos where everyone creates their own Databricks resources. However, when I need stricter ...

Is there a way to natively mount external Iceberg REST Catalogs (e.g., BigLake) in Unity Catalog?
