Hey @rich-iannone, I am a long-time user of your package from R, and love to see it in Python, thank you!

I am having a similar issue to the user here:

#57

except mine is for Snowflake / Databricks. ibis supports both, but I am getting:

ValueError: The provided table object cannot be converted to a Narwhals DataFrame.

am totally down to help debug / support both of these backends further. thanks

I think the PySpark error with preview() is fixed now in #112. I'll release pretty soon, so it's somewhat easier to test.

Hey, thanks for using the package! What I’ve been doing is slowly enabling the use of different Ibis backends to whoever asks for it. The reason the support isn’t there in the first place is because I haven’t yet tested it.

So I’ll make a change (tomorrow) to enable the Databricks and Snowflake backends so you test it out from main. Thanks for volunteering with the testing/troubleshooting! Hoping these backends just work out of the box though.

@hershelm from the just-merged PRs #101 and #102 , you can now get past the blocking ValueError and see how well the Ibis backends (snowflake, databricks, and pyspark) work with Pointblank!

thanks @rich-iannone!

snowflake works, when testing pb.preview(TABLE_NAME)

both databricks and pyspark connections fail when testing pb.preview(TABLE_NAME), with the same error

I think the PySpark error with preview() is fixed now in #112. I'll release pretty soon, so it's somewhat easier to test.

Hey

ValueError: The provided table object cannot be converted to a Narwhals DataFrame.

In case it helps, I just wanted to point out that we have a PR in progress to support Ibis in Narwhals narwhals-dev/narwhals#2000
I'm hoping that by mid-April we can ship it and support Ibis across the (lazy-only) Narwhals API

This is amazing and we will definitely migrate over to that once it ships!
