  1. Data page
  2. Dashboards page

  4. Alerts page
  5. SQL Editor page

Answer(s): E

  1. As an exact substitute with the same level of functionality
  2. As a substitute with less functionality
  3. As a complete replacement with additional functionality
  4. As a complementary tool for professional-grade presentations
  5. As a complementary tool for quick in-platform Bl work

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

Databricks SQL is not meant to replace or substitute other BI tools, but rather to complement them by providing a fast and easy way to query, explore, and visualize data on the lakehouse using the built-in SQL editor, visualizations, and dashboards. Databricks SQL also integrates seamlessly with popular BI tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Looker, allowing analysts to use their preferred tools to access data through Databricks clusters and SQL warehouses. Databricks SQL offers low-code and no- code experiences, as well as optimized connectors and serverless compute, to enhance the productivity and performance of BI workloads on the lakehouse.
