Unity Catalog is a unified governance solution for all data and AI assets including files, tables, machine learning models and dashboards in your lakehouse on any cloud.

In this demo, we’ll show how to upgrade your existing tables from the legacy Hive metastore catalog to Unity Catalog. You’ll then be able to leverage all UC capabilities (security, ACL, row level, lineage, audit, etc.).

This demo contains examples using the UI, but also shows example script to upgrade an entire database, handling external locations but also managed tables.

To install the demo, get a free Databricks workspace and execute the following two commands in a Python notebook

%pip install dbdemos

import dbdemos
dbdemos.install('uc-05-upgrade')
