To construct a delta table from a CSV file in Synapse using PySpark and incorporating a customized schema that can accommodate up to 30000 characters in the columns, you can follow these steps:

  1. Start by importing the required libraries:
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from pyspark.sql.types import StructType, StructField, StringType
  1. Next, create a SparkSession object and specify the delta format:
spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("DeltaTableCreation").getOrCreate()
spark.conf.set("spark.databricks.delta.formatCheck.enabled", "False")
  1. Define the schema for the CSV file by creating a StructType object and specifying the columns and their data types:
customSchema = StructType([
    StructField("col1", StringType(), True),
    StructField("col2", StringType(), True),
    ...
    StructField("coln", StringType(), True)
])
  1. Load the CSV file as a DataFrame using the schema:
df = spark.read.format("csv") \
    .option("header", "true") \
    .schema(customSchema) \
    .load("path/to/csv/file")
  1. Write the DataFrame to a delta table:
df.write.format("delta").save("path/to/delta/table")

This will create a delta table from the CSV file using a customized schema that accommodates up to 30000 characters in the columns.
