Connect

To connect to a delta source instance, use the connect method provided by the delta class. This method allows you to connect to either a local file path or a remote cloud storage service (such as AWS S3, Azure Data Lake, or Google Cloud Storage). The method returns an instance of the delta class, which you can use to manage your Delta tables.

from deltabase import delta

db:delta = delta.connect(path="local_path/mydelta")

---

on connect, delta will attempt to load tables if path is local.

---

db:delta = delta.connect(path="s3://<bucket>")

You can also connect to a delta source stored in an AWS S3 bucket. Replace <bucket> with the actual bucket name and path.

---

db:delta = delta.connect(path="<az|adl|abfs[s]>://<container>")

For Azure, you can connect to an Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) or Azure Blob Storage using the appropriate URI scheme (az://, adl://, or abfs[s]://).

---

db:delta = delta.connect(path="gs://<bucket>")

For Google Cloud Storage, use the gs:// prefix followed by the bucket name and path.
