Using a 3-rd party library (Databricks) in Power BI Service
Hi all,
I need to use a 3rd party SQL connector called 'databricks-sql-connector' in the Power BI Service.
I tested below and it was succesful:
Above scripts are in the same notebook.
My question is:
- Is it a right way to use a 3rd party library?
- Do I need to include and run 'pip' installation command every time in a Notebook?
- I would like to know if there is a way to install a 3rd party library so I can import the library in a Notebook not by installing every time when I excute a Notebook
Thanks for your help in advance.

1.Yes, using pip install in your notebook is the correct and supported method to use third-party Python packages in Microsoft Fabric Notebooks.
2.Yes, currently Fabric Notebooks are session-based and do not retain installed packages between sessions. You may need to run the pip install command at the start of each session.
3.No, at this time, Fabric does not support. Installing them via pip in each notebook remains the required approach. Appreciate if you could share the feedback on our Microsoft Fabric Ideas. Which would be open for the user community to upvote & comment on.
Hope this resolve your query. If so,give us kudos and consider accepting it as solution.
