Has anyone been experiencing the issue of R plots not rendering in notebooks, starting a few days ago?t's not related to splarkly or plotly, or specifc data types, or anything. For example in base R: plot(1:3, 5:7) calculates without error, but does ...
One very inadequate workaround is to use the focus mode (Ctrl + Alt + o) on a cell to see that cell and output, which will show the R plot even if it doesn't show in the notebook per se. It very much does not replace the purpose of having notebooks, ...
Hi experts,I'm having a problem when trying to create an external catalog with my PostgreSQL database. The connection is fine. But the database name that I want to connect has dashes and colon (eg. my-db-prod:all). When trying to connect with it, I a...
Hi @micheloh, From what we’ve seen, this is currently a limitation of Lakehouse Federation foreign catalog creation rather than a problem with the connection itself. The PostgreSQL connection can succeed, but the database value used when creating the...
Hello everyone. I’m new to the Databricks family but last week received my Associate certificate in Databricks fundamentals. Any advice on how to get better at Databricks?
Databricks academy is the best way to get started. Understanding the spark fundamentals will be great addition to your skillset.

A Small Thing I Keep Noticing in Data ProjectsLately, I have been thinking about something I have seen again and again in big data projects.At the start, everything feels manageable. One tool is used for ingestion. Another one is used for transformat...
Honest advice teams should use Databricks for Data, BI, ML, and AI and close the tab. The depth of what's already there surprises most people once they actually dig in. The real problem isn't the tooling, it's that everyone chases the next shiny thin...
I have used discount coupon to register for exam but now I have other commitments to pursue but some how process is not allowing me to postpone beyond 25th may 2026. Can anyone suggest on this
I would email the training-support@databricks.com. They are very responsive and answered my questions all the time and helped me with the refund too
One thing that really changed how I think about BI platforms happened while I was working in a large enterprise environment heavily invested in Tableau.On paper, the environment looked mature: lots of dashboards, lots of business areas onboarded, and...
Definitely yes and I'll back that with a real data point.Last week I ran a POC where I replicated our most complex Power BI dashboard in Genie. The original took our team about a month to build. Genie reproduced it in under 10 minutes with zero manua...
What changedA production daily job that has worked unchanged for ~8 months started failing on 2026-05-18 ~23:46 UTC. The notebook does a plain spark.read.json("s3://BUCKET/...") against a bucket in af-south-1. The metastore is in eu-west-1. Same code...
Your debugging is really thorough and you've already done the hard work of isolating this. The 400 with an empty body (no proper S3 error code like InvalidArgument) on an opt-in region is almost always one thing: SigV4 signing region mismatch. af-sou...

Hi,In May 2026, I have tried with the environment v5 and still the same issue. However, looks like a Databricks employee answered short before, that in environment v4 it was available again, but not working for me, neither v4 nor v5.https://www.reddi...
