Develop code in Databricks notebooks

Develop code in Databricks notebooks

This page describes how to develop code in Databricks notebooks, including autocomplete, automatic formatting for Python and SQL, combining Python and SQL in a notebook, and tracking the notebook version history.

For more details about advanced functionality available with the editor, such as autocomplete, variable selection, multi-cursor support, and side-by-side diffs, see Navigate the Databricks notebook and file editor.

When you use the notebook or the file editor, Databricks Assistant is available to help you generate, explain, and debug code. See Use Databricks Assistant for more information.

Databricks notebooks also include a built-in interactive debugger for Python notebooks. See Debug notebooks.

Modularize your code​

With Databricks Runtime 11.3 LTS and above, you can create and manage source code files in the Databricks workspace, and then import these files into your notebooks as needed.

For more information on working with source code files, see Share code between Databricks notebooks and Work with Python and R modules.

Format code cells​

Databricks provides tools that allow you to format Python and SQL code in notebook cells quickly and easily. These tools reduce the effort to keep your code formatted and help to enforce the same coding standards across your notebooks.

Python black formatter library​

Databricks supports Python code formatting using black within the notebook. The notebook must be attached to a cluster with black and tokenize-rt Python packages installed.

On Databricks Runtime 11.3 LTS and above, Databricks preinstalls black and tokenize-rt. You can use the formatter directly without needing to install these libraries.

On Databricks Runtime 10.4 LTS and below, you must install black==22.3.0 and tokenize-rt==4.2.1 from PyPI on your notebook or cluster to use the Python formatter. You can run the following command in your notebook:

%pip install black==22.3.0 tokenize-rt==4.2.1

or install the library on your cluster.

For more details about installing libraries, see Python environment management.

For files and notebooks in Databricks Git folders, you can configure the Python formatter based on the pyproject.toml file. To use this feature, create a pyproject.toml file in the Git folder root directory and configure it according to the Black configuration format. Edit the [tool.black] section in the file. The configuration is applied when you format any file and notebook in that Git folder.

How to format Python and SQL cells​

You must have CAN EDIT permission on the notebook to format code.

Databricks uses the Gethue/sql-formatter library to format SQL and the black code formatter for Python.

You can trigger the formatter in the following ways:

To customize how your SQL queries are formatted, see Custom format SQL statements.

Limitations of code formatting​ Code languages in notebooks​ Set default language​

The default language for the notebook appears below the notebook name.

To change the default language, click the language button and select the new language from the dropdown menu. To ensure that existing commands continue to work, commands of the previous default language are automatically prefixed with a language magic command.

Mix languages​

By default, cells use the default language of the notebook. You can override the default language in a cell by clicking the language button and selecting a language from the dropdown menu.

Alternately, you can use the language magic command %<language> at the beginning of a cell. The supported magic commands are: %python, %r, %scala, and %sql.

note

When you invoke a language magic command, the command is dispatched to the REPL in the execution context for the notebook. Variables defined in one language (and hence in the REPL for that language) are not available in the REPL of another language. REPLs can share state only through external resources such as files in DBFS or objects in object storage.

Notebooks also support a few auxiliary magic commands:

SQL syntax highlighting and autocomplete in Python commands​

Syntax highlighting and SQL autocomplete are available when you use SQL inside a Python command, such as in a spark.sql command.

Explore SQL cell results​

In a Databricks notebook, results from a SQL language cell are automatically made available as an implicit DataFrame assigned to the variable _sqldf. You can then use this variable in any Python and SQL cells you run afterward, regardless of their position in the notebook.

note

This feature has the following limitations:

The screenshot below shows how _sqldf can be used in subsequent Python and SQL cells:

important

The variable _sqldf is reassigned each time a SQL cell is run. To avoid losing reference to a specific DataFrame result, assign it to a new variable name before you run the next SQL cell:

Python

new_dataframe_name = _sqldf

SQL

ALTER VIEW _sqldf RENAME TO new_dataframe_name
Execute SQL cells in parallel​

While a command is running and your notebook is attached to an interactive cluster, you can run a SQL cell simultaneously with the current command. The SQL cell is executed in a new, parallel session.

To execute a cell in parallel:

  1. Run the cell.

  2. Click Run now. The cell is immediately executed.

Because the cell is run in a new session, temporary views, UDFs, and the implicit Python DataFrame (_sqldf) are not supported for cells that are executed in parallel. In addition, the default catalog and database names are used during parallel execution. If your code refers to a table in a different catalog or database, you must specify the table name using three-level namespace (catalog.schema.table).

Execute SQL cells on a SQL warehouse​

You can run SQL commands in a Databricks notebook on a SQL warehouse, a type of compute that is optimized for SQL analytics. See Use a notebook with a SQL warehouse.

Run code in Assistant on serverless compute​

You can run code in the Assistant on Databricks on serverless compute, which is the default compute on Databricks. For pages where there is already a compute selected (for example, notebooks or SQL editor), Databricks defaults to using it. For information about compute types, see Types of compute.

If you don't have access to serverless compute, you must have a compute instance available to run code in the Assistant panel.
