# Databricks

Select Star supports two methods for collecting lineage data from Databricks:

* **System tables (Recommended)**: Uses Databricks system tables via SQL REST API for better performance and scalability
* **API**: Uses individual REST API calls per column

Both methods provide identical functionality and lineage coverage. The System tables method is recommended for larger deployments as it eliminates API rate limits and reduces processing time.
