Migrating Secrets to Unity Catalog? Watch the Names

Migrating secrets to Databricks Unity Catalog? Watch the names.

Secret scope keys allow dots, Unity Catalog doesn’t. So jdbc.url becomes jdbc_url.

Now take a scope with api-key and api.key. Normalize both and you get api_key twice. The second write wins. No error, one credential gone.

My migration notebook checks for collisions before a single secret moves.

Full walkthrough in my latest blog post.
