Hi allWe are having some alarming issues regarding a script that yields different output when running on SQL vs Notebook. The correct output should be 8625 rows which it is in the notebook, but the output in Databricks SQL is 156 rows. The script use...
UPDATE:I think we have identefied and solved the issue. It seems like using LAST with Databricks SQL requires to excplicitly be careful about setting the "ignoreNull" argument and also be careful about the correct datatype. I guess this is because of...

I wanted to calculate the total size in bytes for a given column for a table. I saw that you can use the bit_length function and did something like this giving you the total bits of the column but not sure if this is correct.SELECT sum(bit_length(to...
I looked at the docs of bit_length and it does not state if it is before or after compression.However since spark decompresses data on read, it is very likely it is the size before compression.The table size is read from metadata and is compressed.To...
Hi Team, I am creating my data warehouse on AWS s3 and corresponding tables on databricks warehouse.I want to connect looker studio (which is different from looker) to these databricks tables and be able to create reports.Could you please help us on ...

I am using Power BI Desktop to connect to Unity Catalog using Delta Sharing. When I connect, I enter my endpoint, enter my bearer token, browse the catalog and can see my tables. But when I try to preview or load a table, I get the error "access to r...
It turned out we had to allow my IP address on the storage account used by Unity Catalog. I guess i wasn't expecting to need that for Delta Sharing, but that indeed did fix the problem.
Hi,While running a notebook during a nightrun on Azure Databricks, it got stuck on Initializing RocksDB. We are not using any streaming data nor have enabled RocksDB. Anyone has any clue how to disable RocksDB or prevent this in the future?Thanks!
