secret function

Applies to: Databricks SQL preview Databricks Runtime 11.3 LTS and above

Extracts a secret value with the given scope and key from Databricks secret service.

Syntax

secret ( scope, key )

Arguments

• scope: A constant string expression containing the scope of the secret to be extracted. The scope is the namespace in which multiple keys might reside.
• key: A constant string expression with the key of the secret to be extracted.

Returns

A STRING.

If the key cannot be retrieved the function raises INVALID_SECRET_LOOKUP. To return NULL instead, use the try_secret() function.

To retrieve a list of all secrets the user is authorized to see use the list_secrets function.

Azure Databricks makes a best-effort attempt to redact secrets from raw output. For more information, see Secret redaction.
