Benefits

The best data warehouse is a lakehouse

Databricks SQL is built on lakehouse architecture, which unifies data, analytics and AI, eliminating the cost and complexity of a stand-alone, legacy data warehouse and lowering TCO. Delta Lake UniForm serves as the open storage layer for all your data in one place, and Unity Catalog provides unified security and governance.

Access for everyone to ask questions of their data

DatabricksIQ powers multiple intelligent experiences that give anyone a simple interface to ask questions and get insights from their data. Data engineers and data scientists who write code have an assistant inside the SQL editor, and analysts have an assistant to generate visualizations for their dashboards.

Intelligent, automated management and tuning

Databricks applies machine learning, powered by DatabricksIQ, to all levels of our stack to automatically improve efficiency and performance for your workloads. This eliminates the need for admins to worry about the management minutia and improves savings through more efficient provisioning.

World-class price/performance

Databricks SQL utilizes our next-generation vectorized query engine Photon and set the world-record 100TB TPC-DS benchmark. For BI workloads, the instant, elastic SQL compute — decoupled from storage — will automatically scale to provide unlimited concurrency.
