Feature request:
It is possible to add comments to both databricks sql databases and tables. It would be really usefull if these comments could show up (if they are provided) in PowerBI when one connects to the Databricks SQL endpoint, e.g. in this window:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/_static/images/third-party-integrations/power-bi/power-bi-navigator.png
Often data can be much more usefull with just a tiny bit of context and explanation, and this is one way to push that to the user.
- Comments (2)
RE: Show database/table COMMENT in databricks connector
To add a bit to this, columns can also have descriptions. They should
1: Pop up when hovering over the column name in the preview window, and
2: Be imported as column descriptions to the powerbi column (I made a seperate issue for this here: https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=4544a945-a65e-ec11-a3ee-501ac50a6ef7 )
RE: Show database/table COMMENT in databricks connector
It is quite small feature so could be easily implemented by PowerBI. I tried to Vote but it gave error :-) - I will try later...
