SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures all Databricks Delta tables across Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers adhere to consistent governance, performance, and metadata standards, preventing common configuration errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized TBLPROPERTIES: Applies correct properties for each medallion layer (Bronze, Silver, Gold).
  • Mandatory Clustering: Enforces CLUSTER BY AUTO for optimal performance.
  • Metadata & Governance: Includes patterns for PII, data classification, ownership, and comments.
  • Use Case: When creating a new Gold layer table, use this Skill to automatically apply all required TBLPROPERTIES, clustering, and comment standards, ensuring compliance and discoverability.

Quick Start

Use the databricks-table-properties skill to generate the standard TBLPROPERTIES for a new Bronze layer table named 'bronze_customers'.

Frequently Asked Questions about databricks-table-properties

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What TBLPROPERTIES are required for Delta tables in a Databricks medallion architecture?

Required TBLPROPERTIES for Delta tables vary by medallion layer to ensure governance compliance. Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers each require specific metadata tags, auto-optimize settings, and mandatory CLUSTER BY AUTO configuration for performance optimization.

How do I enable Change Data Feed (CDF) on Unity Catalog Delta tables?

To enable Change Data Feed (CDF) on Unity Catalog Delta tables, you must set the appropriate TBLPROPERTIES during table creation. This Skill provides the standard CDF enablement patterns required for tracking row-level changes across medallion layers.

How do I standardize table and column comments for PII data classification in Unity Catalog?

Standardizing table and column comments for PII data classification involves applying consistent metadata tagging patterns. This Skill provides domain values, data classification tags, and comment standards to ensure proper governance and discoverability in Unity Catalog.

Does setting CLUSTER BY AUTO improve query performance on Databricks Delta tables?

Setting CLUSTER BY AUTO improves query performance on Databricks Delta tables by optimizing data layout. This Skill enforces mandatory CLUSTER BY AUTO configuration for all table creation operations to ensure optimal performance across medallion layers.

Can I use this Skill to apply auto-optimize settings across Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers?

You can use this Skill to apply auto-optimize settings across Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers. It provides standard TBLPROPERTIES and validation checklists to ensure consistent performance optimization and governance metadata for all Delta table operations.

Why do my Databricks Delta tables fail governance compliance checks without standard metadata?

Databricks Delta tables fail governance compliance checks without standard metadata due to missing ownership, PII tags, or inconsistent properties. This Skill provides validation checklists and required TBLPROPERTIES to ensure compliance across medallion layers.
