Introduction to Databricks SQL

This session is repeated. If you are brand new to Databricks SQL and want to get a lightning tour of this intelligent data warehouse, this session is for you. Learn about the architecture of Databricks SQL. Then show how simple, streamlined interfaces are making it easier for analysts, developers, admins and business users to get their jobs done and questions answered. We’ll show how easy it is to create a warehouse, get data, transform it and build queries and dashboards. By the end of the session, you’ll be able to build a Databricks SQL warehouse in 5 minutes.

Introducing Universal Format: Iceberg and Hudi Support in Delta Lake

In this session, we will talk about how Delta Lake plans to integrate with Iceberg and Hudi. Customers are being forced to choose storage formats based on the tools that support them rather than choosing the most performant and functional format for their lakehouse architecture. With Universal Format (“UniForm”), Delta removes the need to make this compromise and makes Delta tables compatible with Iceberg and Hudi query engines. We will do a technical deep dive of the technology, demo it, and discuss the roadmap.
