SQL Warehouse

SQL Warehouse is the current Databricks name, previously SQL Endpoint (since 2023).

SQL Endpoint → SQL Warehouse

SQL-optimized compute that powers Databricks SQL.

• The serverless flavor spins up in seconds - typically 2 to 6 - where a classic warehouse takes several minutes (around four) to start. 🔗
• Sources can't agree on when the rename happened: Databricks docs date it to 2023, while some write-ups swear it was 2022. 🔗

⚠ Limitations: The maximum number of queries in a warehouse queue is 1000 for all warehouse types, and pro/classic SKUs have a fixed limit of one cluster per 10 concurrent queries. 🔗
