This project demonstrates how to connect to Databricks from .NET applications using two different approaches:

1. ODBC Connection - Using the Simba Spark ODBC Driver
2. REST API Connection - Using Databricks SQL Statement Execution API

• .NET 9.0 SDK
• A Databricks workspace
• Databricks personal access token
• For ODBC: Simba Spark ODBC Driver (see odbc/README.md for installation instructions)

Both examples execute a sample query against the Databricks samples.tpch.orders table (available in most Databricks workspaces) and retrieve the results:

• REST API: Prints results to console
• ODBC: Writes results to query_results.txt file

• ODBC Setup Guide - Detailed instructions for ODBC driver installation and configuration
• REST API Setup Guide - Detailed instructions for REST API setup
• Databricks ODBC Driver Documentation
• Databricks SQL Statement Execution API

• Use environment variables or secure configuration management in production
• Rotate your Databricks personal access tokens regularly
