Thanks Jayesh. I was aware of the catalog table approach but I was avoiding that because I will hit the database twice for one table, one to create DDL and other to read the data. I have lots of table to transport from one environment to other and I don’t want to create unnecessary load on the DB.

Then using plain JDBC again, create the table at the destination.

When I am loading the dataframe back to target DB, I would like to ensure the same schema as the source table schema using val targetTableSchema: String = """ | operating_unit_nm character varying(20), | organization_id integer, | organization_cd character varying(30), | requesting_organization_id integer, | requesting_organization_cd character varying(50), | owning_organization_id integer, | owning_organization_cd character varying(50) """.stripMargin .option("createTableColumnTypes", targetTableSchema ) I would like to know if there is way I can create this targetTableSchema (source table DDL) variable directly from source table or from a csv file. I don’t want spark to enforce its default schema. Based on the table name, How do I get the DDL created dynamically to pass it to targetTableSchema variable as a string. Currently I am updating targetTableSchema manually and looking for some pointer to automate it.
