Study Notes
Introduction to Databricks SQL
- Databricks SQL (DBSQL) is a data warehouse enabling execution of SQL and BI applications at scale.
- Switching to the SQL persona in the sidebar is necessary to access Databricks SQL features.
Key Features of Databricks SQL
- Options available in the sidebar include:
- SQL editor
- Queries
- Dashboards
- Alerts
- Data explorer
- SQL Warehouses
Creating a SQL Warehouse
- SQL warehouses provide compute power based on Spark clusters.
- To create a SQL warehouse:
- Click on SQL Warehouses and select Create SQL Warehouse.
- Name it (e.g., Demo Warehouse) and set cluster size to 2x Small.
- Leave default settings for permissions and click Create.
- The SQL warehouse will start and become operational shortly.
Dashboard Creation
- Click on Dashboards in the sidebar and visit the Gallery to find dashboards.
- Import the New York City taxi trip analysis to create a sample dashboard.
- The dashboard will display the creator's name and can be modified at any time.
Query and Visualization
- Click to refresh queries behind dashboard graphs.
- Access the underlying query by choosing View Query from the graph options.
- The sources in queries use a three-tier namespace: catalog, database, and table name.
- Visualizations can be edited or newly created using a query.
- Example: Create a pie chart for fare amounts grouped by the day of the week.
Saving and Organizing Dashboards
- New visualizations can be added to existing dashboards.
- Dashboards can be rearranged by dragging graphs around in the Edit mode.
- Dashboards can be shared with other users with defined permissions.
Writing Custom Queries
- New queries can be created in the SQL editor by selecting the appropriate SQL warehouse.
- Use the schema browser to navigate databases; example database: NYC Taxi with one table (trips).
- Submit queries and apply functions like GROUP BY and SUM to aggregate data.
Query Management and Scheduling
- Saved queries can be added to dashboards and scheduled for automatic refresh at specified intervals.
- Example scheduling: Refresh every week at 7 a.m.
Setting Up Alerts
- Saved queries can trigger alerts based on specific thresholds (e.g., total_fare > 10,000).
- Alerts can provide notifications via email or integrations like Slack and Microsoft Teams.
- Create alerts by selecting saved queries, setting thresholds, and configuring refresh settings.
Conclusion
- Databricks SQL enhances data management and visualization through accessible SQL functionalities and real-time query handling.
- Users can create, save, and automate the analysis of data efficiently with dashboards and alerts.
