SQL Endpoint APIs

Preview

This feature is in Private Preview. To try it, reach out to your Databricks contact.

Important

To access Databricks REST APIs, you must authenticate.

Requirements

To create SQL endpoints you must have cluster create permission, which is enabled in the Data Science & Engineering workspace.
To manage a SQL endpoint you must have Can Manage permission in Databricks SQL for the endpoint.

To configure individual SQL endpoints, use the SQL Endpoints API. To configure all SQL endpoints, use the Global SQL Endpoints API.

Create

Endpoint	HTTP Method
`2.0/sql/endpoints/`	`POST`

Create a SQL endpoint.

Field Name	Type	Description
name	`STRING`	Name of the SQL endpoint. Must be unique. This field is required.
cluster_size	`String`	The size of the clusters allocated to the endpoint: `"2X-Small"`, `"X-Small"`, `"Small"`, `"Medium"`, `"Large"`, `"X-Large"`, `"2X-Large"`, `"3X-Large"`, `"4X-Large"`. For the mapping from cluster to instance size, see Cluster size. This field is required.
min_num_clusters	`INT32`	Minimum number of clusters available when a SQL endpoint is running. The default is `1`.
max_num_clusters	`INT32`	Maximum number of clusters available when a SQL endpoint is running. This field is required. If multi-cluster load balancing is not enabled, this is limited to `1`.
auto_stop_mins	`INT32`	Time in minutes until an idle SQL endpoint terminates all clusters and stops. This field is optional. The default is 0, which means auto stop is disabled.
tags	EndpointTags	Key-value pairs that describe the endpoint. Databricks tags all endpoint resources with these tags. This field is optional.
spot_instance_policy	EndpointSpotInstancePolicy	The spot policy to use for allocating instances to clusters. This field is optional.
enable_photon	`BOOLEAN`	Whether queries are executed on a native vectorized engine that speeds up query execution. This field is optional. The default is `true`.
