Hi Team, We are trying to explore connection to Azure SQL DB from Azure Databricks notebooks using managed identity. Can you please let me know if this is supported and share the steps if supported to setup the same.
Thanks Sandeep
Currently, Managed identity is not supported in Azure Databricks service.
More details : Azure services that can use managed identities to access other services. Similar issue : Connect to Databricks from python via managed identity

Unity catalog is a pre-requisite for using managed identity.
Please see the below reference document:
I hope this answers your question.
