Databricks Get Started Days (Data Engineering + SQL Analytics and BI)

Get Started with Databricks for Data Engineering

In this course, you will learn basic skills that will allow you to use the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform to perform a simple data engineering workflow and support data warehousing endeavors. You will be given a tour of the workspace and be shown how to work with objects in Databricks such as catalogs, schemas, volumes, tables, compute clusters and notebooks. You will then follow a basic data engineering workflow to perform tasks such as creating and working with tables, ingesting data into Delta Lake, transforming data through the medallion architecture, and using Databricks Workflows to orchestrate data engineering tasks. You’ll also learn how Databricks supports data warehousing needs through the use of Databricks SQL, Delta Live Tables, and Unity Catalog. With the purchase of a Databricks Labs subscription, the course also closes out with a comprehensive lab exercise to practice what you’ve learned in a live Databricks Workspace environment.

Catalog Management and Data Organization

In this course, you will learn how to design, implement, and govern catalog structures and large-scale data organization on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. It offers a comprehensive view of Unity Catalog as the centralized governance layer for an enterprise lakehouse. Divided into five modules, it begins by placing Unity Catalog within the cloud deployment model — covering the Account Console, metastore creation, and the administrator role hierarchy. You will then translate organizational topology (business units, regions, and dev/QA/prod environments) into a scalable catalog and schema design using naming conventions, ownership patterns, and MANAGE delegation. The course then covers secure storage integration with storage credentials, external locations, the managed-storage hierarchy, managed versus external tables, and UC Volumes for non-tabular data. Next, you will apply access patterns and isolation strategies — the three-level GRANT chain, workspace-catalog binding, and schema-level Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) policies — to enforce fine-grained data protection at scale. Finally, the course closes with best practices for catalog design, automation, least-privilege permissions, and group-based access management.

Note: For SCORM lecture files, please ensure that you close the SCORM window after completing the content. Do not click the ‘Next Lesson’ button, as doing so may prevent the SCORM module from being marked as complete.
