Include and exclude lists

Assets which are added later in the data source will also be included or excluded if they match the conditions specified in the lists. Example values:

  • myCatalog/: all schemas in myCatalog,
  • myCatalog/.*: all schemas in myCatalog,
  • myCatalog3/mySchema1: mySchema1 from myCatalog3,
  • myCatalog4/mySchema[1-5]: any schema in my myCatalog4 with a name that starts with mySchema and ends with a digit between 1 and 5

External inputs

If you use external Microsoft Azure Databricks dll archives, you can add them in a .zip file as an external input. You can organize the structure of the .zip file as the dll folder with subfolders or archives that represent the workspace structure. The .zip file can have the following structure:

<dll>
    <catalog_name_folder>
      <schema_name_folder>
        <tables>
          <table_name.sql>
        <views>
          <view_name.sql>
