## Features
| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Execute SQL Queries** | Run any SQL query on Databricks with configurable result limits |
| **Table Information** | Get detailed information about tables including schema and row counts |
| **Table Comparison** | Compare two tables by downloading their data and running CLI diff |
| **Quick Comparison** | Fast metadata-only comparison of tables |
## Quick Start
```bash
# 1. Clone and setup
git clone https://github.com/aymenfurter/bricks-use.git
cd bricks-use
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
# 2. Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# 3. Configure environment (see setup section)
cp .env.example .env # Edit with your credentials
# 4. Run the server or use CLI
python databricks_server.py # For MCP server
# OR
./bricks query "SELECT * FROM my_table LIMIT 10" # For CLI
```
## Setup
### Prerequisites
<table>
<tr>
<td><strong>Python</strong></td>
<td>3.11 or higher</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Databricks</strong></td>
<td>Workspace access</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Token</strong></td>
<td>Personal access token</td>
</tr>
</table>
### Environment Variables
Set the following environment variables or create a `.env` file:
```bash
# Databricks Configuration
DATABRICKS_SERVER_HOSTNAME=your-workspace.cloud.databricks.com
DATABRICKS_HTTP_PATH=/sql/1.0/warehouses/your-warehouse-id
DATABRICKS_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-personal-access-token
# Optional Settings
DATABRICKS_CATALOG=main # Defaults to 'main'
DATABRICKS_SCHEMA=default # Defaults to 'default'
DATABRICKS_TEMP_DIR=/tmp/databricks_mcp # Temp directory
```
### Installation
1. **Create and activate a virtual environment:**
```bash
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
```
2. **Install dependencies:**
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## CLI Usage
Use the `./bricks` command-line tool for direct interaction:
```bash
# Execute SQL queries
./bricks query "SELECT * FROM my_table LIMIT 10"
./bricks query "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users WHERE active = true" --limit 50
# Get table information
./bricks info my_table
./bricks info users --catalog production --schema analytics
# Compare tables
./bricks compare table1 table2
./bricks compare old_users new_users --quick
./bricks compare sales_2023 sales_2024 --catalog1 prod --schema1 sales
# Output options
./bricks query "SELECT * FROM table" --format json
./bricks info my_table --format table
```
