Paginated Report with Direct Connection to Databricks

I am in the process of creating a Paginated Report that is running direct queries to a databricks server using an ODBC connection.

 

When I try and add a Parameter to the query using "@" then the query is failing to validate and is reporting a syntax error.  If I remove the @ and replace it with a value then the query works fine.

 

I presume this is an issue with SQL code within databricks.  Has anybody come across this before got a solution?

    Hi GrayMarshUK ,

    What is your code for the parameter part?
    In Databricks SQL, parameters are not prefixed with as in traditional SQL. Instead, they are enclosed in double curly braces .

      This is a basic version of the query that works fine with Azure Warehouse
      SELECT site, site_bk
      FROM dev.cur_uki_commercial.commercial_dim_location
      WHERE site = customer

      Tried the follwoing but still get an error
      SELECT site, site_bk
      FROM dev.cur_uki_commercial.commercial_dim_location
      WHERE site ={{ customer }}
