Hello Everyone,

As I notice that a Azure Databricks workspace creation by default is Unity Catalog enabled. How do I create a Azure Databricks workspace that is not Unity Catalog enabled.

Thank you

    Hi Prasanna,

    Due to Azure Databricks using delta lake storage this means that Unity Catalog is automatically added to the workspace. Through some research, I do not see this capability nor the capability to delete UC or hide it.

    For some more insight into the subject I would suggest reading the following:

    If this is helpful please accept answer.
