Question

I\'m looking for a way to be able to connect to Databricks deltalake tables from ADF and other Azure Services(like Data Catalog). I don\'t see databricks data store listed in A

Answer 1

You can but it is quite complex. You need to use the ODBC connector in Azure Data Factory with a self hosted runtime.

ADF can connect using ODBC (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-odbc). It does require a self hosted IR. Assuming you have the right drivers installed you can configure the ODBC connection to a Databricks cluster.

The connections details for the ODBC settings can be found in cluster settings screen in the Databricks workspace (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-databricks/connect-databricks-excel-python-r).

The process is very similar to what you posted for PowerBI.
