What is used as a compute resource for Databricks SQL?

Answer options

• A. Standard clusters
• B. Single-node clusters
• C. SQL warehouses
• D. Downstream BI tools integrated with Databricks SQL

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is SQL warehouses, as they are specifically designed to provide the compute resources necessary for running SQL queries in Databricks SQL. Standard clusters and single-node clusters are used for other types of workloads, while downstream BI tools are not compute resources themselves but rather interfaces for accessing the data.
