One of the best KZbin videos I have ever watched. Now, I understand the difference between these 3. Great job, teacher!

[@jyotirdas6326]

very nicely explained , thankyou so much...

[@geojbarros]

I did love your explanation about the differences between these three environment, Lisa. It clarified a lot of doubts that I had in my mind about it. Thanks a lot.

Awesome explanations. Thanks, Lisa Hoving

Well donde. Thank you Lisa

Thank you Lisa, that was essentially a master class on the differences. Excellent. How does Snowflake compare? (separate video probably and also depends on the use case of course). Thank you again for this information. Job well done.

Hi, my name is Henk, nice to meet you

Isn't it true now that it's not necessary to know Spark for Databricks? I thought the transactional layer abstracts away the need to write Spark code and instead provides options to use SQL or Python.

[@LisaHoving]

Hi Dan, in many ways, you can view Apache Spark as a package. We can program it with Python, Scala, and many other languages. So, even though you can program Python in Databricks, just Python is not enough, unfortunately. We also need the powers of Apache Spark! However, if you already know Python, Apache Spark is just onee step away :) And, even though it's technically true you can program SQL in Databricks, I do find that the SQL language by itself does not offer enough flexibility for most use cases. But, to be fair, some people are much more handy with SQL than me, haha!

I think Spark is very similar to python in Syntax... I think people use a combination of Spark and SQL in a given Notebook in Databricks.
