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.
Related Resources
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" },
},
});
var things = new Databricks.Schema("things", new Databricks.SchemaArgs
{
CatalogName = sandbox.Id,
Comment = "this database is managed by terraform",
Properties =
{
{ "kind", "various" },
},
});
}
}
package main
import (

Create Schema Resource
Resources are created with functions called constructors. To learn more about declaring and configuring resources, see Resources.
Constructor syntax
