Databricks
Use a managed Databricks SQL connection to query approved Unity Catalog data for Vendo analysis, audiences, and transformations.
Last reviewed July 13, 2026
Databricks is a managed source integration. Vendo-led setup connects an approved SQL warehouse and Unity Catalog scope so supported workflows can query data in the lakehouse.
What the connection provides
- Discovery of approved catalogs, schemas, tables, and views.
- SQL execution through the selected warehouse.
- Use of returned results in agreed Vendo analysis and transformation workflows.
- Databricks-native access control and query history.
The source tables remain in Databricks, while query results are returned to Vendo for the requested operation.
Before requesting setup
- Workspace URL and cloud region.
- SQL warehouse and HTTP path.
- Unity Catalog, schemas, and tables to expose.
- A service principal or other approved non-personal credential.
- Expected query volume, concurrency, latency, and warehouse sizing.
Access model
Grant only the catalog/schema usage and table/view SELECT access required for the use case. Prefer a service principal and a credential with an expiration and rotation owner over a personal access token tied to one employee.
Setup and verification
Follow Managed Databricks setup. The connection is ready when Vendo lists only the approved objects and a bounded query matches the Databricks SQL result.
