In Spark/Scala you can use 's' substitution invocator for a variable in sql call, for example
var sqltext = s""" INSERT INTO TABLE ${broadcastStagingConfig.broadcastTable} PARTITION (broadcastId = ${broadcastStagingConfig.broadcastValue},brand) SELECT ocis_mrg_pty_id AS partyId , target_mobile_no AS phoneNumber , brand FROM ${tag} WHERE length(target_mobile_no) = ${broadcastStagingConfig.mobileNoLength} AND substring(target_mobile_no,1,1) = ${broadcastStagingConfig.ukMobileNoStart} """ spark.sql(sqltext) However, in PySpark the same fails rows = spark.sql(s"""SELECT COUNT(1) FROM ${fullyQualifiedTableName}""").collect()[0][0] ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax What is the correct substitute invocation in PyCharm if any?
