    Within a metastore, Unity Catalog provides a 3-level namespace for organizing data: Catalogs, Databases (also called Schemas), and Tables / Views.

    A databricks.Schema is contained within databricks.Catalog and can contain tables & views.

    The following resources are used in the same context:

    • databricks.Table data to list tables within Unity Catalog.
    • databricks.Schema data to list schemas within Unity Catalog.
    • databricks.Catalog data to list catalogs within Unity Catalog.

    Example Usage

    using Pulumi;
    using Databricks = Pulumi.Databricks;
    
    class MyStack : Stack
    {
        public MyStack()
        {
            var sandbox = new Databricks.Catalog("sandbox", new Databricks.CatalogArgs
            {
                MetastoreId = databricks_metastore.This.Id,
                Comment = "this catalog is managed by terraform",
                Properties = 
                {
                    { "purpose", "testing" },
                },
            });
