Course recap

Advanced patterns with Databricks SQL

Every organization has a need for a data warehousing capability to run critical business intelligence analyses. Over the years, there have been many different tools to satisfy these needs, but often were separate technology stacks that struggled to keep up with modern data needs and scale.

Databricks is a powerful Data Intelligence Platform that can satisfy many of an organization's analytical needs.  By leveraging Databricks SQL, an organization can utilize a hyper scalable and performant data warehouse solution directly in the lakehouse architecture.

In this course, you will be introduced to the key components and workflows within Databricks SQL.

First, you will learn how to use Databricks SQL to perform different data engineering tasks and moving your data through the medallion architecture to serve data teams. You will earn the common techniques many data engineers use, how to choose between different data storage techniques, and how to keep your data up to date.

Next, you will learn how to analyze your data in Databricks SQL like many data analysts do in the industry. You will learn the common functions and techniques using ANSI based SQL, and will then create in-platform visualizations and dashboards to better tell a story about your data.

Finally, you will learn some more advanced techniques that leverage the key differentiators of the Databricks platform. You will learn how to handle high-velocity and fast changing data using window functions, and will be able to merge datasets together as they come in.

LakeFlow Connect can ingest data from databases, files, and SaaS applications

LakeFlow Connect consists of managed and pre-built connectors

When you upload data via a GUI-based tool in Databricks, you create a table in Unity Catalog

You can use the manual upload capability with databases, as well as files

Both of the specified data ingestion techniques require some programming to be done

LakeFlow Connect does not keep your data up to date, and must be reconfigured each time
