Write Data In-DB to Databricks

Hi, 

 

I am trying to write data to a table in databricks (database.tablename), and creating a new table is not a problem. Next, I want to append new rows to my table with the tool; Write Data In-DB. However, the tool is not giving me the configuration options that are documented in the Alteryx Help section. Is the configuration options depending on the actual connection type, or is there a bug with my tool? I am running the latest version of Designer 2021.3.

Hope anyone can point me in the right direction.

Hi @pinecone 

 

According to the documentation the options depend on the connection type.  Delete/Append operations are only supported on SQL server ODBC connections

While DataBricks might be using SQL Server behind the scenes, you're not connecting directing to the database through ODBC, so the Update/Delete options aren't available.
