Databricks

Unity Catalog metadata, bounded parameterised SQL searches, Delta MERGE/INSERT, statement results and Lakeflow job runs.

Feed lakehouse tables from operational flows, read curated results back and trigger downstream jobs safely.

Data types

Validation status

Implemented · fixture tested.

Implementation is checked against provider-shaped fixtures for every action, authentication failures, rate limits, pagination and duplicate safety. Provider sandbox and authorised account validation are recorded separately when credential-backed runs are completed.

What you can map

catalogs

List catalogs
Source
Lists Unity Catalog catalogs visible to the principal.
catalogs.list

columns

Run job now
Destination
Not retried automatically
Approval before production
Triggers a run of an existing job with optional job parameters. Databricks guarantees one run per idempotency token.
job_runs.create
Get job run
Source
Reads one job run with its state.
job_runs.get
List job runs
Source
Incremental
Lists job runs, newest first, optionally for one job and since a start time.
job_runs.list

jobs

List jobs
Source
Lists Lakeflow (Workflows) jobs.
jobs.list

rows

Insert row
Destination
Not retried automatically
Approval before production
INSERTs one row into a table with named parameters.
rows.create
Search table rows
Source
Incremental
Runs a generated, parameterised SELECT (validated columns, filters, updated-since and LIMIT) on the SQL warehouse.
rows.search
Upsert row
Destination
Not retried automatically
Approval before production
MERGEs one row into a Delta table by key columns with named parameters.
rows.upsert

schemas

List schemas
Source
Lists schemas in a catalog.
schemas.list

statements

Get statement result
Source
Reads a statement's status and first chunk, or a later result chunk.
statements.get

tables

Get table
Source
Reads a table's metadata and columns.
tables.get
List tables
Source
Lists tables and views in a schema.
tables.list

Authentication

Personal access token or OAuth M2M service principal

Plans and access

Databricks Premium or Enterprise with Unity Catalog and a SQL warehouse. The token's user or service principal needs CAN USE on the SQL warehouse, Unity Catalog privileges on the tables and CAN MANAGE RUN on triggered jobs.

Test environment

Databricks offers a 14-day trial and the Free Edition.

Rate limits

Workspace API rate limits apply per endpoint (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); statement execution concurrency follows the warehouse size.

Pagination

page_token for Unity Catalog and Jobs; generated LIMIT/OFFSET for row searches.

Provider events

Job notification webhooks (configured per job). Nexra event triggers are not yet available; flows run on demand or on a schedule.

Before you build a flow

Free-form SQL is not accepted; only generated SELECT, MERGE and INSERT statements with named parameters run.
Searches, writes and job runs consume billable compute (DBUs) and are not retried automatically.
Statements wait up to 45 seconds and are cancelled after that; results above 25 MiB (INLINE) are not returned.
Job creation, editing, cancellation and deletion are not implemented.

Developer reference

Create the Databricks credentials described above with the narrowest permissions your flows need.
In Nexra, open Connect, then Connections, then New connection, choose Databricks, enter its settings and credentials, and tick only the write actions you need. Connection guide
Test the connection, then use its actions as flow sources and destinations. Flow guide
