What's Included in Your Trial

Feature	Details
Duration	14 days of full access
Data Limit	Representative sample per table (see note below)
Products	Access to all available data products

Upgrade Path	Seamless upgrade to full subscription

Trial data is real production data with limits that vary by product:

• FDA AEMS: 1,500 drug reports + 1,500 device reports with all related child records (reactions, substances, device details, narratives, patients, etc.) properly linked. Parent-child JOINs return complete results; the DRUG_NDC_DIRECTORY and DEVICE_CLASSIFICATION reference tables are limited to 500 representative rows each, so joins to them can miss matches in the trial.

• Other products: Limited to 1,500 rows per table as a representative sample.

This gives you an accurate view of data quality, schema structure, and query patterns before committing to a subscription.

Prerequisites

Before requesting your trial, ensure you have:

Required:

• A work email address (personal email domains like gmail.com are not accepted)

• A Databricks workspace with Unity Catalog enabled

• Permissions to create catalogs or external locations in your workspace (typically requires admin or metastore admin role)

Checking Unity Catalog Status

Not sure if Unity Catalog is enabled? Run this in your Databricks SQL editor:

-- Check if Unity Catalog is enabled
SELECT current_catalog();

If this returns a catalog name, Unity Catalog is enabled. If it errors, contact your Databricks administrator.

How to Request Your Trial

What is a Databricks Sharing Identifier?

If you provide your sharing identifier (format: cloud:region:metastore-uuid), we'll share data directly to your Databricks workspace; no activation file needed. Data appears automatically under Catalog > Delta Sharing > Shared with me.

How to find it: In your Databricks workspace, go to Catalog > gear icon (top right) > Metastore details. Copy the Sharing Identifier value.

Don't have it or not sure? No problem. Leave this field blank and we'll send you an activation file instead. See Activate Your Databricks Share for details on both methods.
