Specifies which command the provider uses to retrieve metadata from Databricks.

Syntax

Connect-Databricks -DescribeCommand string

Possible Values

Data Type

cstr

Default Value

"DESCRIBE"

Remarks

The DescribeCommand property determines whether the cmdlet uses the full DESCRIBE keyword or its shorthand DESC when issuing metadata queries to the Hive-compatible endpoint in Databricks.

When this property is set to DESCRIBE, the cmdlet uses the full standard Hive SQL syntax.

When this property is set to DESC, the cmdlet uses the shorthand form, which may be required for compatibility with certain engines or query parsers.

This property is useful for adjusting SQL compatibility when retrieving schema details from Databricks or Hive-based systems.
