Executing queries using Databricks SQL and Databricks SQL Warehouses

Which of the following is a benefit of Databricks SQL using ANSI SQL as its standard SQL dialect?

  • A It has increased customization capabilities
  • B It is easy to migrate existing SQL queries to Databricks SQL
  • C It allows for the use of Photon's computation optimizations
  • D It is more performant than other SQL dialects
  • E It is more compatible with Spark's interpreters
Explanation

ANSI SQL standardization promotes SQL portability, allowing existing SQL workloads to migrate to Databricks with little refactoring when they do not rely heavily on source-system-specific syntax. Databricks documentation states that Spark SQL is mostly ANSI-compliant and that migrating SQL workloads from other systems usually requires little refactoring.
