There is customer data in Azure SQL DB. Each customer stored here has a Guid value. I want to incrementally load this customer data into a Lakehouse.
If the customer data is modified, I want to keep the Guid value and only update the changed information. If new customer data is created, I want to simply insert it.
I want to configure this using all the resources of Fabric without using Query statements.
Is there a method that can be used universally in various projects?
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you are building a managed delta table in a lakehouse to bring the data from Sql, you can use Delta Table API in notebook to perform a fully qualified UPSERT using merge between source and target delta table.
from delta.tables import *
deltaTablePeople = DeltaTable.forPath(spark, '/tmp/delta/people-10m')
deltaTablePeopleUpdates = DeltaTable.forPath(spark, '/tmp/delta/people-10m-updates')
dfUpdates = deltaTablePeopleUpdates.toDF()
deltaTablePeople.alias('people') \
.merge(
dfUpdates.alias('updates'),
'people.id = updates.id'
) \
.whenMatchedUpdate(set =
{
"id": "updates.id",
"firstName": "updates.firstName",
"middleName": "updates.middleName",
"lastName": "updates.lastName",
"gender": "updates.gender",
"birthDate": "updates.birthDate",
"ssn": "updates.ssn",
"salary": "updates.salary"
}
) \
.whenNotMatchedInsert(values =
{
"id": "updates.id",
"firstName": "updates.firstName",
"middleName": "updates.middleName",
"lastName": "updates.lastName",
"gender": "updates.gender",
"birthDate": "updates.birthDate",
"ssn": "updates.ssn",
"salary": "updates.salary"
}
) \
.execute()

unfortunately UPSERT option is not available in Copy / Dataflow gen2 with lakehouse as a sink.
you would have write some custom logic to handle the same , Below blog provides some details :
