Chat with the Databricks lakehouse in plain English.
iDBQuery's Databricks connector turns a Databricks SQL Warehouse into a conversational analytics surface across your lakehouse. Provide your workspace host (e.g. `dbc-abcd1234-xy56.cloud.databricks.com`), the HTTP path of a SQL Warehouse from its connection details panel, and a personal access token (or service-principal token), and the schema across catalogs, schemas, and tables visible to that token is introspected immediately. The AI sees Unity Catalog metadata — catalogs, schemas, tables, views, materialized views, columns, data types, partition columns, and the table format (Delta, Iceberg, Parquet) — and uses that to write standard ANSI SQL the warehouse can execute. Every chat question becomes a safe parametrized SELECT, returned as a chart, table, stat card, or dashboard. Databricks-specific features — `LATERAL VIEW EXPLODE` for complex types, `QUALIFY`, window functions, `MERGE`-style read patterns, time-travel queries (`VERSION AS OF` / `TIMESTAMP AS OF`) on Delta tables, geospatial functions — are all in the model's vocabulary. Use a small SQL Warehouse with auto-stop at 10 minutes for analytical workloads to keep DBU consumption predictable. The personal access token is encrypted at rest with strong symmetric encryption, used only at query time, and never returned by any API. The free tier — 1M tokens per month, three sources, five reports, no credit card — lets you validate the workflow before committing. iDBQuery makes the lakehouse a chat window for your team.
Everything iDBQuery's Databricks SQL Warehouse connector supports out of the box.
Project → Add source → Databricks.
Workspace host looks like `dbc-abcd1234-xy56.cloud.databricks.com`. From a SQL Warehouse → Connection details, copy the HTTP path (e.g. `/sql/1.0/warehouses/abcdef0123456789`).
User Settings → Developer → Access tokens → Generate. Service-principal tokens work too if you prefer a non-user identity.
Grant the user/principal `CAN USE` on the SQL Warehouse and `SELECT` on the catalogs/schemas you want exposed via Unity Catalog.
Ask 'Show daily order volume by region for the past 90 days' — the AI writes the SQL and renders the chart.
Free tier covers most teams. No credit card.
