How to Read Unity Catalog Tables in Snowflake, in 4 Easy Steps
Dear all,
Databricks #UnityCatalog now works with Snowflake, Dremio, Starburst, EMR, and more — to help you unify data and AI
Databricks pioneered the open data lakehouse architecture and has been at the forefront of format interoperability. We’re excited to see more platforms adopt the lakehouse architecture and start to embrace interoperable formats and standards. Interoperability lets customers reduce expensive data duplication by using a single copy of data with their choice of analytics and AI tools for their workloads. In particular, a common pattern for our customers is to use Databricks’ best-in-class ETL price/performance for upstream data, accessing it from BI and analytics tools, such as Snowflake.
Unity Catalog is a unified and open governance solution for data and AI assets.
A key feature of Unity Catalog is its implementation of the Iceberg REST Catalog APIs. This makes it simple to use an Iceberg-compliant reader without having to manually refresh your metadata location.
